Letter: Repeal Obamacare, name it Trumpcare

When president-elect Donald Trump declared on his 60 Minutes interview that he would simultaneously repeal that 'disaster” called Obamacare and replace it with a 'terrific plan,” I thought that would be impossible. But I now realize that he could easily do this.
You repeal Obamacare and then rename it Trumpcare. Without alteration except for a change in name Trumpcare would enthusiastically be passed by the Republican Congress. It could be done in one day.
One might call this ingenious, but let's remember that the Republican-hated Obamacare was once known as Romneycare and praised by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
