Which do you prefer? Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act?

Seriously--got this in an email from a friend

This is what we’re up against. One of my 1st LD Democrat friends sent me this link to the Jimmy Kimmel show: http://gawker.com/kimmel-asks-americans-to-choose-obamacare-or-the-affor-1433866673

Actually, I received it via the 1st LD Dems’ Facebook page. It would be good to get such capabilities on our Facebook page.

1. Neither.

I prefer a universal national non-profit health CARE plan, free to all at point of service, funded entirely by taxes.

The private for-profit insurance mandate? I don't really care what people call it.

4. Me too. In 1917, states can begin to enact single payer n/t

5. 1917? nt

2. Either is perfectly OK with me

I use the term Obama Care because he deserves the credit.

3. I'm glad the Republicans decided to label this "Obamacare."

Now, decades after his presidency is over, his legacy will be obvious by the name used to refer to the healthcare law he worked to put into place. They made him "own" it, thinking it's a bad thing, when they really couldn't have been more wrong (as usual).

6. I agree!

10. +1

7. Affordable Care Act

It's tricky though because there's been so much misinformation about this law; I can see the logic of tying it to Obama for those who trust Obama.

11. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

The same ones, as far as I can see.
