Got it backwards, don't you? If striking down DOMA is judicial activism, why isn't it the same for the health care act? It's the CONS that worry about judicial activism all the time, not the LIBS.

Marriage is the province of the States. The feds cannot refuse to accept that status because it is not a federal issue. It would be like the Feds refusing to acknowledge a transfer of real estate, or accept a state driver's license.
Judicial activism: Finding that a longstanding provision in the Massachusetts constitution prohibits the Commonwealth from refusing to "marry" people of the same gender. Now THAT'S judicial activism.
