Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he believes that calling President Barack Obama's signature health care law "Obamacare" is too kind, and he wants to go back to using its actual name, which he considers more sinister and revealing.

"One thing I’ve been trying to do is discipline myself to use the full name of this law: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," Johnson said Thursday on the Fox News radio show "Kilmeade and Friends."

"I mean, that is Orwellian in origin and let’s face it, it’s really not protecting patients as we’ve seen millions of people –- contrary to President Obama’s repeated promise -– they’re losing not only their coverage, but access to the doctors and treatments that have kept them alive."

Johnson used Wisconsin as an example to show how unaffordable he feels the act is.

"An average plan for a family didn’t go down $2,500 per year; it’s gone up about $2,500 per year, so I mean it's a totally misnamed law," he added. "And so, I want to use the name just to make sure people understand really what a fraud Obamacare really is. You know what, I just made a mistake -- the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, I mean."

Host Brian Kilmeade picked up on the senator's slip -- one he made throughout the radio show.
