Maybe it wasn't such a hot idea after all for President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats to embrace the "Obamacare" moniker for the Affordable Care Act, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer mused Tuesday.
"Yeah, I wish I hadn't called it 'Obamacare' before, because that has politicized it and has been used by Republicans as a pejorative term," Hoyer, D-Md., said after a reporter noted Tuesday that he repeatedly called the health care law by its formal name. ....
"I don't know that we need to re-brand the Affordable Care Act," he said. "We do need to say it is the Affordable Care Act."

Yup latest tactic to distance themselves from it.Hows Pelosi acre sound?
yea I know care vs acre
Democrat care or commie care work just as well.
Too late, its OBAMACARE now and forever.
BS
It was a great idea and ought to be capitalized on.
StenyCare then.
It isn’t the name that makes something evil. Ted Bundy isn’t an inherently evil name. It was the actions of the man that made it synonymous with evil. They could have called it Cute Kitten Medical (CKM) and it would still be evil. The British have something called “Care Pathway” which is synonymous with euthanasia. The cute name didn’t help.
How about calling it Pelosi-Hoyer-Democrap-care?
Remember when they passed it and happily/proudly said that they own it?
How about NObamacare? Or PelousyCare?...........If you like Obamacare you can keep it..........and shove it where the sun don’t shine..................
Call it, TraitorRobertsCare.
It is not “affordable” but it is definitely “Obama”.
The blood of those who will die because of this law is on their hands. Period.
They all supported it, voted for it, and to this day refuse to countenance any modification of it (much less repeal). It's theirs; they own it.
Suck it, Steny. You created it, may it be your destruction!
FUBOcare.
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic etc......
Obamacare has turned stage 10 cancerous with zero chance of a cure.
Hoyer, you self-aggrandizing POS, I don’t care what you call it.
