I don't care if people refer to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as ObamaCare or health-care reform or the ACA or the BaucusBill or anything else. This is the sort of thing that keeps political professionals busy, but doesn't much matter to people. The law is unpopular right now because people have a bad impression of it, not because the title didn't go through enough focus groups. Nevertheless, Kevin Drum is right about this:
The real problem here is that Democrats, once again, failed Legislation 101. This was their bill. They could name it anything they wanted. So what did they choose? PPACA. That's very memorable, isn't it? What's wrong with these guys?
Perhaps Slate, fresh off the success of the Obama slogan generator, could create an app to name bills.
