It's actually called the ACA (Affordable Care Act). Obama was only attributed to it because people were so happy with what it did for them.
Instead of forcing his name on things, maybe he should try to pass laws that people actually admire and want to put his name on it.
That's one half of it. The other half is that Obamacare could be used as a dogwhistle to constituents on the right.
Obamacare is a pejorative derisively applied to sink it - it’s not an official name
That's the entire point of the parent you're replying to.
Also, "Obamacare" may have originated as a pejorative (I don't know), but I've heard it used positively way more often than negatively.

Obviously involving insurance and (other people's money) makes a difference, but for direct to consumer, I don't think doctors should be gatekeepers any more.

It's a fix not a lifestyle. Those with chronic conditions sure wish they didn't need to.
