During a Politico-sponsored event on Wednesday, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius suggested a simple fix to Obamacare, which is so unpopular that 58% of Americans would like to see it repealed, according to a Fox News poll. Insisting that the health care law suffered from a “branding” problem, Sebelius suggested the solution was as simple as changing the name. “Obamacare, no question,” she said, “has a very bad brand that has been driven intentionally by a lot of misinformation and a lot of paid advertising.
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.
