Well, now you know that it is ACA. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to use a term that was meant to demean a current or past President of the United States of America.
 
I hope you are not one of those who get upset at people who don’t show what you consider proper respect to the current President.
 
So, when you use it, are you meaning it as a compliment or a disparagement? And did you use it before Obama embraced it?

Most (not all) seem to mean it as the latter.
 
I knew it from the beginning as Obamacare. I never heard it referred to as ACA until a few years before Obama left office.

Sally, now the left is trying to find another way to shame the right by claiming we are
intentionally demeaning Obama? Give me
a break!!

Who stays up at night trying to figure out the ways to make Obama or the democrats a victim!!!

I knew the democrats as the Democrat Party my whole life and now all of a sudden it is demeaning because it ends in rat so we are supposed to call it the
Democratic Party. We don’t have a Republicanic party, a Greenic party or an
Independentic party, but now we have a democratic party because all they hear is the word rat at the end.
All the years i said the word democrat, i never singled out those last 3 letters until
it was pointed out the democrats did.

i looked at the word as a whole 8 letter word.

Now all of a sudden Obamacare is a bad word?!!!

I’m in the same situation as you but I checked had The ACA been enacted in 2010 instead of 2014 I wouldn’t have gone through the state’s ripoff high-risk pools for 2 years.
 
I didn’t pay for the insurance through the state and it was better than Obamacare.
I would have paid a fine for one or two years until I reached 65.
 
I sent letters galore so they would extend COBRA past its 18 months. The House bill included it but the Senate bill which became the ACA did not.
 
My problem is that there are some who get very upset any time someone else says anything negative about President Trump, even calling people who say something negative haters and disrespectful to the President. Yet they had no problem doing that to President Obama.

If you want to disagree with people’s conclusions about Trump, that is one thing. But deriding past Presidents, not just their policies is another.

And now that you know the correct name, you can use that. Because, as you well know, it was meant as a bad word before and I suspect (although I could be wrong), you did not mean it as a compliment.

Perhaps try listening to, reading, primary sources for news instead of listening/reading only commentary? Every professional journalist who wrote/talked about the Affordable Care Act used the proper, legal term.
 
Hard to know what’s better if you never used it. I know a person who blasted the ACA until her daughter needed surgery and she then decided to sign up to pay for it.
 
I started using it when everybody else did. For one thing, it was easier to say. Still is.
 
I never say “ACA”. If I was to use its proper name, it would be “Affordable CAre Act”. But that (and ACA for that matter) is just the enabling legislation. Nobody buys insurance from the “Affordable Care Act” or the “ACA” either one, and nobody pays a penalty for not doing it. Oh, yes, one buys it through the “exchanges”, but I never learned to say that. And it’s not “exchanges” anyway.

How about if people are simply allowed to say “Obamacare” like Obama himself did, without being hassled for it?
 
People can say whatever they want as long as they don’t call people haters who show “disrespect” towards Trump and his policies and statements.

And Obama care is also just another name for the legislation. There is no insurance company that I know of that marketed a policy under that name.

I believe “exchanges” was a term lawmakers used as that was the healthcare plans they used to sign up for themselves. So the term probably shouldn’t be applied to the websites we use to sign up for healthcare.

I have no reason to doubt you on this.

It’s very rare that anti-Trumpers actually argue with Trump’s policies. It’s almost always personal attack of some kind.
 
Seems like the personal attacks come primarily from tweets. And guess who sends the most covered ones?
 
I meant on CAF. I have no idea about tweets from anybody. I don’t tweet.
