Did anyone notice that all of a sudden liberals and democrats don't want to associate Obama with Obamacare. They are now calling it ACA as if they got orders because Obama doesn't want his name associated with the law.

Well, it is the proper name of it...and quicker to type. Same thing really.

Who exactly is doing this?

Can you prove people are actually getting orders from somewhere or some person?

Taking 'Obama' out of health care - Reid J. Epstein - POLITICO.com

President Obama has remarked supremely confident that "it would be Republicans who would eventually want to dissociate his name from what they would come to acknowledge as a spectacular law".

Nancy Pelosi went so far as to correct David Gregory on “Meet the Press” Sunday on the proper terminology. And White House talking points distributed to Democrats and obtained by POLITICO repeatedly refer to the Affordable Care Act in suggested sound bites, not Obamacare

Yep, I've noticed. This tells you how bad the law is, when even Obama is trying to get his name off of it.

Okay, so the entire evidence is an opinion peice that in official documents, the website, and press releases Obamacare is referred to as The Affordible Healthcare Act. Isn't that kind of professional behavior, to use the actual name, expected in offical communications?

As it states in the article, many people are still referring to it as Obamacare.

In the article it states that no communications have been made about using one or the other in preference. Certainly nothing about "orders to the troops", which is just bizarre.

Congrats, you have made a storm in a teacup with a daily 15 minutes of rage. I guess if you need to be angry at something about Obama every day, have at it hoss. Personally, I won't get involved with your self poisoning.

It will always be Obamacare.

The only way people will forget it is if it is repealed.

Yes, a real misnomer if I ever heard one.


Obamacare is the name it deserves.

Now you're just talking sense.
Some here won't like calling it what it is.
