they regretted coining it as such. They thought they were putting a negative spin on it by tying it to Obama and it backfired.

Obama realized this and actually started using the Obamacare moniker himself to taunt them.

Since then - how many times did they try to repeal it?

Now they have the chance of removing his name once and for all.

I think this too will backfire on them - as we American People will always refer to it as Obamacare.
