Imagine if Medicare was 'Johnson-care' or Social Security 'Roosevelt-care'

Plouffe suggested that the Republican moniker for the health care overhaul - "Obamacare" - will hurt the party in the end, the implication being that the law will be upheld and eventually become widely popular.

"I'm convinced at the end of the decade, the Republicans are going to regret turning this [into] 'Obamacare,'" he said. "Most of the law doesn't take effect until 2014. But important parts are getting implemented right now. Two and half million people between the ages of 21 and 26 have health care only because of the health care law. Over 5 million seniors are getting over $600 in prescriptions drug relief.
