so that it is no longer called Obamacare, but it will be similar. Heck, there are already millions of Americans who think the ACA is different from that government program Obamacare.

I've had a feeling that they are just going to do pretty much nothing and then try and give it another name.




Unless someone can think of a better hashtag.
