In other words, he admits that it’s a failure because everyone is calling it Obamacare.

No. Once Hillary is coronated, it will become known as “Single-Payer System”, and ObamaCare will have been a minor roadbump and footnote on the way to full blown Progressive Neo-Marxism.

He might be right if success is defined as insolvency.

Well I guess the one permanent thing about this will be its current name then.

Reagan made the same prediction about “Reaganomics.”

It worked, and they stopped calling it “Reaganomics.”

This will never happen with Gangrapecare. It will always be called “Obamacare.” A hundred years from now, mothers will frighten disobedient children with tales of “Obamacare.”
