President Obama has embraced "Obamacare" as the de facto name of his signature health care initiative.

But the commander-in-chief believes that if the law ends up being a wild success, the moniker will disappear.

"My suspicion is what is going to happen is when it's working and everybody is really happy with it, Republicans are going to stop calling it 'Obamacare,'" the president said Tuesday in an interview with New York's WABC TV station.

How can you identify a fake ObozoScare site?

Fake Health Exchange Sites Easily Identifiable Because They Work

Some health insurance brokers are setting up states that mimic the name and look of the official state exchanges. But the fake sites are easily identifiable because, unlike the official sites, they work.

The unofficial sites can sell real insurance plans however those plans have not been certified by the government and are therefore not eligible for government subsidies. So if you log on to a health insurance exchange site that seems to be working properly, caveat emptor.

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

Hey, we are just getting the sticker shock and sign up fiasco now. Still to come are coverage problems, doctor availability and procedure denials. Unpaid drugs, yes that too.
