OFA Tells Members To Stop Using Term Obamacare…
With the Obamacare rollout disaster in plain sight, I’m betting the White House will quietly stop using the term as well.
Via Breitbart:
One of the featured speakers on an Organizing for Action (OFA) conference call Wednesday night designed to generate enthusiasm for President Obama’s signature health care legislation among community organizers around the country, admitted on the call that Obamacare is unpopular in polls. The speaker, identified as David Cutler, advised those on the call to “help people” by banishing the term Obamacare and using the program’s formal title, the Affordable Care Act, when encouraging friends and family to enroll. The Affordable Care Act, he explained, polls much better than Obamacare.
Cutler, a Harvard professor and former health care advisor to President Obama’s campaign, predicted in 2010 that “Obamacare’s cost-control measures would create up to 400,000 jobs each year.” So far that prediction has proven to be entirely wrong, as health care costs since the enactment of Obamacare have increased, while hospitals and health care companies around the country have laid off thousands of employees.
Ignoring reports that less that one percent of those who visited Obamacare sign up websites in some states on Tuesday, the first day under the law individuals could sign up for the new health care system, actually enrolled in the Obamacare exchanges, Cutler tried to persuade the conference call audience that the massive glitches on the websites indicated demand for Obamacare was “overwhelming.”
