No, people call it Obamacare.

Even Obama calls it Obamacare.

Except Obama himself had no problem with it being named "Obamacare", he seemed to be very pleased with the name change. Did you miss that press conference?

You can't fix failure.

Failure that is completely the fault of the Democrats.

Not a single Republican voted for Obamacare.

Republicans had nothing to do with its creation.

Actually, they did.

The ACA as passed includes a lot of amendments proposed by Rs. I would argue that it's a shame those amendments were included, as I think they weakened the original bill, but - there they are.

Republicans did not participate in creating Obamacare at all.

Republicans voted to repeal the ACA more than 50 times, each time they blamed their failure to do so on having a Democratic President. They promised that if voters gave them a Republican President they would 'repeal and replace', They now have a republican house, senate and president and they still can't repeal it and even if they could, they have no clue as to what to replace it with.

You might have been able to blame the ACA on Dems BEFORE Jan 21st, but since then..its on the shoulders of your heroes; Lumpy Trumpy, little Eddie Munster and the rest of the crew in the clown car. They hold all the cards, what happens now is 100% their responsibility. That my friend is how life works

If only they had a majority in the house and senate and controlled the executive branch so hey could repeal it. Silly Obama vetoed thier tries when he was in office over 60 times. If only there was a republican president who would sign into law a repeal.....I really think you people would believe the sun was green in trump tweeted it.

Republicans had their chance and they blew it. What happens now is on them, and the imbecile in the oval office. This has got to be the worst start to a presidency in US history.

The Republicans control the house, the senate and the white house, and yet, they still managed to f..k it up.
