Yeah but if NPR is defunded then this isn’t a story. /s

The article sometimes throws in the term Obamacare — is it still popularly called that? And do most Americans know it’s the same thing?

A great deal of people do not, in fact, recognize that Obamacare == ACA.

It even shows up in poll data. This poll from Oct 2024 shows a 15 point difference when the wording changes. +34 favorable when asked how people feel about the ACA, but only +19 favorable when asked how they feel about Obamacare.

Labeling the ACA as Obamacare was an incredibly effective tactic to leverage the American public's racist tendencies against the public's own interests.
