“We´re going to use the word ´marketplace´ because it actually makes sense to people,” Gunn said at a conference in Washington, D.C. “ ´Exchange´ doesn´t translate to anything in Spanish, but ´marketplace´ does.””
I am glad hussein is so sensitive to the needs of the foreigners like himself.

Perhaps, “mercada del muerte”? Yeah, that’s the ticket!

If you say “free,” they will come, no matter what other word you use.

Turns out we don't even have to pass a bill to know what's in it, because it doesn't matter what's in it...
...it says whatever we want it to say, whenever we want it to say it.

fallecimiento mercado is a tad more idiomatic ~ kind of soft peddles it.

My impression is that a better word would be "suk."

My boss speaks Spanish fluently and can handle the dialects in every Spanish speaking country south of the US.
When I told him this story, the first word out of his mouth was, “intercambios”.
I’d like to see a few paragraphs from the bill in case there is some kind of contextual misunderstanding because the word obviously exists in Spanish.

The original term in Hillary Care was “health care COLLECTIVES”. That REALLY didn’t play well, so they called them “health care exchanges”. Now they’ve changed it again. As a former teacher of mine used to say: “No matter how you slice it, it’s still baloney.”
