"Obamacare", is a pejorative. Its really called the ACA or "Affordable Care Act".

From now on, let's all be less provocative..and call it what it is. The ACA.

Neutral or otherwise, people know it as Obamacare. No other term is needed at this point.
 
Meh the Administration itself calls it Obamacare so I hardly see what the big deal is.

Obamacare is Obamacare. There are, of course, less polite ways to describe it.
 
I call it both.
And technically its called the Patient Protections and Affordable Care Act :prof
 
So the OP agrees that anyone discussing banning of recognition of gay marrages MUST refer to in as the "Defense Of Marriage Act" as a legitimate title?
Otherwise it is just being "provocative."

I call it Obamacare as a matter of indifference. It's not an inherently insulting or propagandist term, unless one believes Obama is a Kenyan communist socialist nazi Arab etc etc. Sometimes though I call it "national Romneycare" to piss off repubs and dems alike.

Folks making more than 133% of the Federal Poverty Level and you pay for insurance or pay the $600 a year tax. A single person making over $14,856 would have to pay for insurance (on $14,856, really?) or $600 tax. A married couple with no kids making over $20,122 a year would be required to pay for insurance for 2 or the tax for 2. A family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids making over $30,656 a year would have to buy insurance for 4 or pay double the tax for the adults. What makes you think it will be affordable to someone attempting to live on $15,000 a year?

in New York, one can get very cheap healthcare if they make less than $28,000 a year.

$227 a month with a $1,200 deductable. Not bad huh?

To save the insurance industry from a death spiral (feedback loop of rising prices leading to dropping policies leading to rising prices...). It's now illegal not to be their customers. Whatta business to be in.

It's neither affordable nor very caring. Now gov't funded mandated health insurance will have all the heart of the IRS and all the efficiency of the Post office. Remember to be careful what you wish for.
 
Obamacare is NOT the "Affordable Care Act". It is the RFECA. That's "Really F***ing Expensive Care Act", since health care costs are going to get a whole lot more f***ing expensive for all.

To someone making $15K/year, or even say $25K/year or $27,999.99/year, $227/month with a $1200 deductible would be very EXPENSIVE!

Isn't that pretty much how any insurance pool works?
