I must confess I did not come up with the term. I first ran across it at Wonkette. It is, however, a superb description of what this bill does. Fits on a bumper sticker. Would make a great soundbite in adverts or Dems appearing on television or radio.

As a matter of fact, keep pounding that “wealthcare” phrase home like the Republicans did with Obamacare, and it might stick. The difference is of course the wealthcare phrase is true.

One problem. To the not-too-sharp WealthCare could be taken to sound positive. Everyone would like some wealth and if someone cares about it, then they are in. It isn’t clear as to who it is aimed at.

Obamacare worked because hearing Obama was all the haters needed. He is Black, his name sounds foreign so add all that into all the other scare tactics they pre-built on him during the elections and once he got the healthcare legislation going they had the negatives to hang on it and named it ObamaCare.

I think the simplicity of GOPDonTCare works. The GOP don’t care. The use of DonT covers Donny Trump being a part of it. It doesn’t have pre-built negativity, but that will come with the negativity of the bill.

Plus…I already have the graphic…but am willing to do more if an even more negative damning name can work.
