re: #409 lawhawk

The GOP derisively called it that.

It’s official title, as per the US Code, Thomas, and any reputable legal citator:

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

It’s known by the acronym of PPACA, or the ACA (affordable care act).

Anyone who thinks that it’s really called Obamacare ought to be disregarded as being a partisan hack.

well, he really is a prize moron - his next sentence is this:

“This is to say that if it fails, not only will it hurt a swathe of innocent citizens — as many other messy initiatives have — but it will also discredit for a generation the worldview of its architects”

i’ve been trying to think of how the ACA could “fail”…
