(13,992 posts)In the prepared remarks, they're referring to the ACA as "Obamacare." Team Obama is embracing the brand name.
I love it.
Also love the little kids get health care, too.

(13,992 posts)Republicans coined the work in mockery. Sixty years from now, when people will be asking, "What was a Republican, anyway?" they'll still remember Barack Obama. Sweet.

This courageous mom and her 4-year-old daughter are precisely what has been missing from failed Democratic efforts to sell healthcare reform. The timetable Ms Lihn revealed--her thankfulness at getting the no-more-caps letter from the insurance company this year, and at the pro-ACA USSC decision this June, and her fears for next year and beyond should Romney get into office--could energize voters who previously were skeptical about 'Obamacare'. Far far better than any list of cold bullet points, Ms Lihn's timetable puts a 4-year-old face on what President Obama accomplished, and will make voters wince every time they hear any Republican spew lies about 'Obamacare'.
