Perhaps this is the final giving-up. The Death Rattle.
Pelosi is now saying that she "always" has called it ACA or Affordable Care Act.
Right. And we've always been at war with Eastasia.
These people are straining the 5-minute attention span of their core voters, to the max.
Obama himself once predicted that, when it started working well, his opponents would stop calling it Obamacare, and would glumly call it something else.
Who's glum now, Mr. President?

Obamacare Then, Affordable Care Act Now

The term Obamacare has largely disappeared from the mouths of Democrats as the presidents health care reform law has gone from a rallying cry to a political grenade.
President Obama once said he embraced the phrase on the 2012 campaign trail, telling supporters, I do care. As recently as Nov. 8, Obama predicted to a laughing crowd in New Orleans that his political opponents would stop using the term once the law became popular.
I know health care is controversial, so theres only going to be so much support we get on that on a bipartisan basis until its working really well, and then theyre going to stop calling it Obamacare, he said. Theyre going to call it something else.
However, it has seemed to change names with the Democrats instead as the laws popularity has slumped to new lows in the wake of Obamas broken promises, rising premiums, insurance cancellations and a disastrous rollout. Obamas approval rating has also plummeted as a result.
During an apologetic press conference Nov. 14, Obama referred to his law as the Affordable Care Act 12 times but did not say Obamacare once. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has referred to the law as Obamacare in the past, told Meet the Press host David Gregory that she always referred to it as the Affordable Care Act during an interview Sunday, and other Democrats are backing off the term as well.
