Obamacare was the derogatory name given it by Republicans, and they just riffed on Hillarycare, which was the derogatory name given to Clinton's Healthcare plan that did not pass.

They meant it to be an insult and most people aren't using "Obamacare" in a derogatory fashion any more.

Obamacare. Then, Obama said he liked the name. After that, Dems called it Obamacare or ACA--whatever they felt like at the moment.

From that, Bill was far more responsible for it than she was and her involvement was VERY problematic, including legally.

BTW, I don't think it was called Hillarycare, but what does it matter? It was an Epic Fail. I would not want my name on it.
