[Ads-l] "Obamacare" Not in OED

[Shapiro, Fred]

I am surprised that "Obamacare" is not included in the OED.  The apparent coinage is as follows:

2007
MARCH Jeanne Schulte Scott, a lobbyist, writes in the journal Healthcare Financial Management: ''We will soon see a 'Giuliani-care' and 'Obama-care' to go along with 'McCain-care,' 'Edwards-care,' and a totally revamped and remodeled 'Hillary-care' from the 1990s.''
