The 'Obamacare vs. Trumpcare' meme template surged in popularity during the 2017 legislative debates regarding the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. The format typically utilizes a side-by-side comparison, showcasing a 'high-quality' or 'original' version of a person or object labeled as Obamacare, contrasted with a distorted, budget, or bizarre version labeled as Trumpcare. While it began as a satirical commentary on American healthcare policy, it quickly evolved into a versatile 'Expectation vs. Reality' format. Internet users now apply the template to everything from movie sequels and video game graphics to fast food orders, using the political labels as a shorthand for a perceived downgrade in quality.
