It's been mentioned here that some people don't know that ACA and Obamacare are the same thing. [View all]


And I suspect a lot of uninformed people figured that "Obamacare" was associated with Obama--and therefore, something bad.

Wonder if whoever started calling it "Obamacare" had an ulterior motive?
