Toward what end? I tend to be more explanatory than official when I try to impart into. It was my call (because most people know it as Obamacare.) And when President Obama accepted and began using that name: it codified it. But I take your point.https://twitter.com/cbassols/status/939876760191225857 …

Yes President Obama did except the coined term, and Republicans used it against him. That is why it is important to use correct terminology. Reporting as tough as yours is a great thing, educating the public is its purpose. Accuracy is vital to do both.

Obamacare is the correct terminology. Some are now referring to it as the ACA as a means to obfuscate the origins of the legislation and to deceive people. Plain and simple.

The president cannot pass legislation he can only submit policy for consideration. It is Congress who passed the ACA legislation, he signed it into law.

Celia, I think everyone here passed 6th grade civics. This is Obama’s signature achievement albeit it a complete disaster. The legislation was written and championed out of the White House. Hence the duly noted moniker – Obamacare.

Craig, are you sure about that?
-
Sure about what, Celia?
-
Sure about people knowing what the three different branches of government are supposed to be doing. I should have made myself more clear sorry I'll do better next time.

No, Celia. You’re a constitutional law scholar & your wisdom on the subject far exceeds that of the Twittersphere. But, I guess u forgot that anyone can write legislation – as was the case w/ Obamacare. Jonathan Gruber, key architect for Obamacare, was an advisor to the WH & HHS
