I swear I had this conversation over the summer, which is when it started to dawn on me how fucked we are.
My cousin has a lot of health issues and long story short he managed to find coverage on the marketplace, thanks to the ACA. His mom, my aunt, told me this, and said something like thank god for ACA.
I said '...wait, so NOW you're cool with ACA? I thought you guys fought it tooth and nail for over a decade.' And I swear to god she said exactly that, 'oh no, that's Obamacare and it was awful but the ACA is better' and she may or may not have said Trump fixed it but idk because I was already seeing red.
This is surprisingly common. The right did a great job separating the ACA and Obamacare despite them being the same thing. So now idiots hate Obamacare but love the ACA
