The Twitterverse Helps Kathleen Sebelius With Better Names For Obamacare

During a POLITICO-sponsored event on Wednesday former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday suggested a simple fix to the “bad brand” of Obamacare — change the name. “Obamacare, no question, has a very bad brand that has been driven intentionally by a lot of misinformation and a lot of paid advertising,” Sebelius said.

Knowing the patriotism of the Hump Day News Report audience my co-host Tami Jackson and I asked listeners to tweet us new names for the beleaguered signature program of our beleaguered President. We received some excellent serious contenders, but we threw those out, and kept the non-serious ones. Below are some of our favorites.

Our guest for the night led things off but others quickly followed:

Shitcare. @HumpDayNR

Actually we got four #GruberCares, so in honor of Mr. Gruber before present other new names we present this 6-second tribute to the architect consultant stalker of Obamacare:

Now this next one from my friend Adam Baldwin gets extra points for sticking to conservative principles.  His suggestion uses the same initials as the official name for Obamacare, Affordable Care Act, ACA meaning the government wont have to pay to inscribe new initials on the Obamacare bathroom towels.
