Republican plaintiff says Obama is a bad man for allowing Republicans to call it "Obamacare"

Supreme-Court

David M. King is pig-biting mad that Obama refers to the Affordable Care Act as "Obamacare," even though it was a term designed by his fellow Republicans to humiliate the President. King is one of the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case that will determine the constitutionality of the act.

From The New York Times:

Millions of people receive federal subsidies in the form of tax credits to help them pay premiums, and without such assistance, many would not be able to afford insurance.

Mr. King, a gruff but friendly man who likes to guard his privacy, expressed a generalized sense of grievance over the health care law and the way the administration had carried it out.

The name often used for the program, Obamacare, is enough to upset anyone, Mr. King said, and suggests that the president is "a narcissist." (The term was actually coined by opponents of the law, though Mr. Obama has sometimes used it.)
