Well, just in terms of the ***care idea:
In 2003, then California State Senator Sheila Kuehl introduced a single payer health insurance bill. Kuehl is a former actress who once played a character named Zelda on the old Dobie Gillis Show. Her bill was promptly dubbed “Zeldacare” by a certain blogger/Freeper. The name got a fair amount of circulation.

“Free Republic posters want to claim credit.”
I actually read about it first on FR. Thinking we should get an entry on wiki but it won’t get past the obama ass-kissing moderators there.

Well, we had RomneyCare. And HillaryCare before that. Didn't we?
When you're the President, it's your tar baby, even if you abdicated its birth to Pelosi and Reid and their libtard staffs. And the more you try to fix it, the worse it will get!

... who made up the term in the first place?... "Certainly a republican, potentially Glenn Beck" and "I am about 80% sure it was Rush Limbaugh" and "Hillary Clinton's campaign coined Obamacare." ... Free Republic posters want to claim credit. Lots of liberals suspect an insidious plot by Fox News. ... This raises an excellent point, as there just might not be much quality "care" in "obamacare".
So, I'm with those who want to change the moniker to something that reflects the originator, but it still based on realistic exceptions of just what the AFA has in store for everyone reading this.
What do you think of...
The Barack Obama Confiscation and Forced Collectivization of Health Plans (Excluding Congress, Congressional Staffers, Labor Unions, and Large Donors) and Ancillary Laws to be Made Up Whenever; All while Promising Health Care Cost Savings (Ha Ha) And that you can Keep Your Doctor (Ha Ha Ha)?
Hmmm, probably not long enough.

Well, since this article is from 2011...who cares what the libs say about calling it 0bamaCare?
Interesting comment at link...Romney was actually one of the first to call it 0bama-care...way back in 2007. Ironic. Here's a link to that...
"I've watched with interest these last few days, watching the Democrats come out with their plans on health care. They don't understand," Romney said. "The path of Europe is not the way to go. Socialized medicine, Hillary-care, Obama-care, they don't get it.

If the liberals are snippy about the term Obamacare, would they prefer DemoCare.
I think you should put a ' n ' Between the o and the C. That will be most descriptive for those who find themselves facing one of the faceless "Death Panels".
