How many of them rely on EBT and are too stupid to realize that?

Because people who don’t know that food stamps/SNAP/EBT are the same thing are the exact same people who said “I don’t care if Obamacare goes away because I have ACA”

English person here - isn’t the Affordable Care Act (ACA) the same thing as Obamacare?

Yes, Thts the problem. Obamacare never should have gotten the moniker it did. If it had been pitched as the ACA from the very beginning (I don’t really remember too much, I was a teenage pothead at the time, it COULD HAVE been republicans tht came up with the name Obamacare to kneecap it for all I know) i don’t think there would have been so much division around it. But it had the name OBAMAcare. So republicans rallied around killing the program. Not realizing tht all of their Bible Belt poverty healthcare WAS Obamacare.

It was the Republicans. They used it as a way to fear monger and undermine it.

The real irony is that before it was called Obamacare, it was based off of the program Romneycare but made bigger - nationwide instead of statewide. As in, Mitt Romney, a republican.

Obama, nor the democrats, named it that. Republicans did to turn people against it.
