    I remember the hilarious part where they all campaigned for years on “repealing Obamacare”. Then they had House and Senate majorities + the Presidency, and guess what didn’t get repealed?

    For a while, there were a surprising amount of people who wanted to repeal Obamacare, but keep the Affordable Care Act.

    Letting it be called Obamacare was probably a misstep for his administration. It’d likely be less disliked if it wasn’t tied to his name, and they went with something like “Americare: Because America Cares for you”.

      Republicans are the ones that nicknamed it that, to try to make their supporters hate it as much as a Black man, even if it hurts them.
