Health bill: YesWeCare! vs. State Arm Insurance

The folks at PolitiFact are having a little fun with the oh-so-serious health care reform debate. They asked readers on both sides of the issue to come up with a snappy name for the legislation emerging from Congress. (Usually, bills get boring titles like “The Voting Rights Act,” or “McCain-Feingold” but every once in a while they come up with something memorable, like “No Child Left Behind.”)

The winner among bill supporters was: “YesWeCare!” (Other favorites: “Pay Less, Die Less,” “Spread the Health,” and “TeddyCare” after late Sen. Kennedy.)

The winner chosen from opponents: “State Arm Insurance” (Other witty entries included “Czar Permanente,” “Big Brother Is Healing You” and “MediScare”)
