Editor’s Letter: The Obamacare effect

Even if support wanes, the HRE sector will benefit

John01-13Dear Reader:

Admit it. Those of you who disdain President Obama and all that he stands for politically prefer to use the term “Obamacare” when referring to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The reference seems to encapsulate one’s negative feelings not only about the law itself but about the president’s leanings and actions on many, many issues.

I would bet that President Obama and his supporters believed that by 2013, three years after the passage of the PPACA, the use of the term “Obamacare” would have morphed into a positive connotation and no longer be used in a negative way. They probably believed that by now the PPACA would be marching unhindered toward full enactment; the bitter political wranglings of 2009-10 all but forgotten. If that were indeed the case, President Obama would possibly be making his own march toward being considered one of the finest presidents in U.S. history.
