Don’t let Debbie Wasserman Schultz hear you using “disparaging” terms like Obamacare to describe your health care law.
Via Weekly Standard:
President Barack Obama praised his signature health care legislation in his own signature, the Des Moines Register reports. Obama autographed a University of Iowa medical student’s lab coat with the phrase, “Go Obamacare!” after a rally in Iowa City Saturday. Here’s more from the Register:
President Barack Obama, in Iowa City today for a campaign rally, took a black marker and wrote “Go Obamacare!” and signed his autograph, [medical student Shadee] Giurgius said.
Obamacare is the term opponents coined for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a controversial health care overhaul that Obama signed into law in 2010. To cut the number of uninsured Americans, it will require almost everyone to carry health insurance. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law, saying the so-called individual mandate is within Congress’s powers.
