Obamacare: "I kind of like that name.... because I do care" Right on!

"The President spoke about healthcare reform even calling it by the name Obamacare, a term Republicans coined to attack the law. “I kind of like that name,” he said to laughter, “Because I do care,” the President said. “That’s why we fought so hard to pass it.”"

Game. Set. Match.

I don't think he was in Denver when I saw him on tv saying this, but I hope he keeps saying it. Looked for it, found this article about Sandra Fluke where he said it in Denver.

The guy owns this issue and the conservatives just are to deep into it to back off.

I'm cautiously optimistic about his ability to hit back when he has to.

It's the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare against the Ryan Budget and Vouchercare. Fine with me.

BCBS just notified us our rates are going up another 24%. That's on top of a 35% increase 2 years ago as a result of the lifting of the lifetime benefit cap (Obama being mentioned by name in the notice), and a 45% rate increase a few years before that. Did someone mention a refund was suppose to be coming because of the ACA? What a slap in the face.

Thanks, Obama, for locking me into doing business with these corrupt arseholes, rather than providing a real alternative. Thanks for imposing Romneycare on the nation.

I do, most of the time. There is nothing derogatory about the name.
