> when’s the last time you referred to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act instead of “Obamacare”

I refer to it as "the ACA", which is short and avoids an unofficial moniker first introduced as an insult.

It's not just a personal preference, it's civically important: There are still morons out there who have spent the last 15 years simultaneously gushing about how the ACA is awesome while demonizing "Obamacare."



ACA is still technically incorrect; as it’s actually statutorily the PPACA. Accuracy, am I right?


By that position we should have been using TUSoA this whole time. US is wrong. USA is wrong.America is wrong.


You're kind of proving their point: People seem to use common names (ACA, Obamacare, DoD) regardless of whether they abide by statute (PPACA) or executive meme-forcing (DoW).
