Obamacare vs. ACA: What’s in a name? (Libs don't want you to call it Obamacare any more)

President Barack Obama and loyal Democrats once embraced the term Obamacare to sell the American people on health care reform.

Not anymore.

With the president’s approval ratings at record lows, a broken website and Obama under fire for his pledge that people could keep their plans, the “Affordable Care Act” has returned.

[Zakeet]

It is racist for you Freepers to call the Idiot's signature accomplishment Obamacare!

[MrB]

Call it “liberalcare”...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Or they’ve seen the Jimmy Kimmel bit about low-info types in the street saying they don’t like Obamacare, but the Affordable Care Act sounds just swell.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They want it to be called RepublicanCare.

[Texas Eagle]

Will not comply.

[Cowboy Bob]

Need a wider brush...DemoCare

[rigelkentaurus]

there are lots of possible acceptable names: RATcare, Deathcare, NoCare, StatistCare, just a few off the top of my head.

[stanne]

this started the first wk in Oct.

I discern pundits’ conservative credentials by their choice of ACA vs Obamacare

Easy.

What’s in a name? Nothing, if you ask Obama.

A lot, if you refer to Shakespeare.

In the first debate with Romney, the Clown said he LIKED calling it Obamacare.

So we are just trying to accommodate the fascist.

[Gamecock]

Before the rollout 0bama said that once it is all up and running his opponents will stop calling it the 0bamacare.

Now it is the other way around.

[svcw]

ahhhh, Liberals don't want me to say obamacare - well to damn bad.

obamacare

[FlingWingFlyer]

A better name would be The Wreck of the Old 97 Healthcare Act.

[refermech]

Obama-cares-lies

[Huskrrrr]

How about ObamaDontCare?

[bray]

How about Hilarycare or Pelosicare?

Pray America is Waking

[Michael.SF.]

My preference:

OhBummerKare

[cripplecreek]

We love Obamacare. Plus Jr can pay for our health care for the next century or so.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Absolutely 1000% guaranteed the regime has set up a think tank to come up with new terms for this that somehow blames Republicans. “The rightwing sabotaged affordable health care” Like everything the Treason party does and fails with, they always flip it toward the Republicans.

[Travis McGee]

I always call it National Socialist healthcare rationing. This puts the libs on the defensive every time, but I just ask them, which part is inaccurate? The National or the Socialist?
