Reasons not to call it obamacare and alternative name
10/25/13 | my spouse

Posted on 10/28/2013 4:35:25 AM PDT by PizzaDriver

Just my thoughts on this!

1. It feeds Mr. Obama's ego.

2. It advertises for the opponent and his political affiliation. (Coke and Pepsi learned many years ago not to mention their competitor in their ads.)

3. Subliminal message is that Mr. Obama cares - I don't see any caring in this act except about votes for person and party.

4. Congress and senate critters passed bill and all members voting for this act should be held accountable for their votes. If they had not voted for it, the President could not have signed it.

As to alternative name, call it ACA to be pronounced to rhyme with caca and we all know what that is. If you want to rename the act, how about CACA (Cursed Affordable Care Act) pronounced as suggested above.

Feel free to pass on to others that support the US Constitution and personal liberty that includes the right of risk taking and failure.

Absolutely. This albatross needs to be kept firmly tied around Obama’s neck.

I think she’s quite right. (The same goes for Obamaphones as well.)

Not sure we’ve got the best alternative name for it yet, however. I kind of like “Marxist medicine”, since it is on the Marxist path toward full the “Communist medicine” that Obama and his allies are ultimately aiming for. “Socialized medicine” used to be a pretty effectively stigmatizing epitaph.

“Fascist medicine” would be a more accurate name for it, but Marxists of course have been too successful loading the fascist term with other meanings and right-wing connotations.

It could also be renamed the Comprehensive Affordable Care Act.

Stage 3 Terminal Care. Because if you need it, you’d better call Hospice.

My liberal family and friends dislike my use of the term, Obamacare. But as their premiums increase and/or their policies are discontinued, calling it, Obamacare, will remind them who is responsible for their misery.

The law is Obama’s legacy. Fine. When it blows up and the people riot, he can take the blame.

I think the name, as it is, points out the irony.

He really doesn’t care that it doesn’t work.
And this is going to become more and more apparent.

Do it all you want....call a Chevy a Thingamajig.....call Nebraska Square State.....call a pig a unicorn....I don’t care. It is Obamacare and always will be, period.

Besides, Obama Care as a name is the absolute best gift we conservatives have to hang this around the deserving folks. When everyone bitches about liberals never getting the blame for anything, the saving grace for this is that it’s called OBAMACare and the site is called Healthcare dot GOV!

If you can’t see it, I’d suggest a bit of tone deafness.

It’s like when a dog kills a chicken, you have to hang the carcass around their neck so they get a good whiff and feel shame.

Of course, Obama will never feel shame for this. Never.

There is no possibility that Obamacare will improve our health care system. It defies basic economics, common sense, & human motivation. It will be wastefully costly; a medically inept, bureaucratic system that will kill people outright & prematurely. People will suffer as a direct result of Obamacare.

It is a system of Obama, by Obama, for Obama. It is the Benedict Arnold, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth of tyrannical systems. As with names of these men, the word Obamacare will be spoken with disdain, forever.

No. obamacare is an utter disaster on several levels. It was foisted upon Americans solely by the democratic party, not one GOP vote in the House. It is obama’s baby, now he has to stick around and be the father of it. Reid and Pelosi don’t get a pass either. These three and their fellow democrat cohorts in crime are responsible. I will not let anyone forgive nor forget.

I have been calling it the “Communist Affordable Care Act” © (aka CACA ©) for some time.

There is no way I want to go to my grave constantly hearing that vile man’s name.

I was one of a group of people who got banned from an online lung cancer support group (Lung Cancer Alliance) for using the word Obamacare back when this train wreck was being proposed. One of the ladies was near death, and had contact only with her husband, hospice workers, and the friends she had met at Lung Cancer Alliance. I had traded emails with her, so we remained in contact until she died, but she lost contact with a large network of friends who had been providing immeasurable support while she faced death. We had all been warned to stop using the word Obamacare, but none of us took it seriously. LCA took it very seriously.

I will not stop calling it Obamacare.

How about obumbocrap?

people will know obumbo means obama

crap (instead of care) is an appropriate description of the ACA garbage.

this way it still reminds people of obama’s crappy unlawful ‘law’!
