The ACA Or Obamacare.

       What do you think about Obamacare? Well, what do you think about the Affordable Care Act? Which do you think is better? I know, I know, they're the same thing. But the problem is, there are a lot of people who don't know it or won't admit it, so they hate Obamacare and like the ACA. It looks like Republicans in Washington are careful not to mention the fact that they're the same. I suppose if you're trying to make something look bad, you give it a name, or nickname, that you can beat up on without looking too foolish.
       So U.S. Representatives keep voting to overturn Obamacare. Actually they're trying to overturn the ACA, but they keep calling it Obamacare. That's because there is no such law as Obamacare to overturn. Now these good politicians know that, but they also know that a lot of folks like a lot of what the ACA has to offer. But if they keep calling it something else long enough and often enough they know that loads of people will think there is actually a difference. And if there is a difference, and they don't know what Obamacare is, they're automatically gonna dislike the one they don't know anything about.
       The silly thing is the politicians they're listening to, don't really know what their talking about either. At least many of them don't. They just know that if they accept the ACA, they might give the other side some advantage. Ya see? That's what it's all about. Political advantage. It really doesn't mean much more than that. Now, truth be told, the ACA does need some changes and improvements and if these politicians were to spend half as much time fixing it, it'd turn out great.
       But there's that advantage thing staring them in the face. Well, that and all that soft money and hard money and corporate money and all that other money nobody's supposed to know where it comes from, even though pretty much everybody does know.
