Didn’t they rally to get rid of Obama care, then cry foul when it turned out it was the same as the ACA?

Even if Americans achieve these things, the next Republican government would slogan them out of existence

Obamacare and Medicare are wildly different.

I think what you're surely referencing is that the so-called Obamacare was the ACA, and somehow some of the benefits of the ACA got through to their awareness - so they supported the ACA but were against Obamacare, which was… the nickname for the ACA.

Oh I didn’t realize they were different! Thanks for the correction

<3 I was pretty sure I knew what you were talking about though, so at least your argument was clear and salient :)
