In reply to the discussion: Boehner: Republicans won't repeal and replace Obamacare [View all]keithbvadu2
(40,915 posts)19. Democrats should STOP calling it Obamacare. --- 'Republicare'
Democrats should STOP calling it Obamacare.
The GOP has framed it as stopping Obamacare which is an evil name to their base.
Start calling it only by the name 'ACA' and local names such as Kynect which people who have it like.
Many of the base do not know they are the same.
Keep hammering that republicans want to repeal what many of their base wants to keep.
'Republicans want to cancel your ACA healthcare insurance'
Whenever they change it, such as the penalty you mention, call it "Republicare'.
They own it.

If they screw up their base's health care, those in office are screwed themselves.
