Well, many polls have shown that a minority (I seem to remember one said 18%) think the whole bill should be repealed....certainly not a majority of the American people. And many polls have shown that if people are asked questions about actual things IN the bill, most approve of them, even if then the question is asked, "are you in favor of the health reform bill?" and they say "no".
Personally, I think it's been the misleading and downright inaccurate, dare I say deliberate untruths by the Republicans, such as the nonexistent "death panels" that have been repeated over and over until people think they are true. In the same way, that although the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says this bill will save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 10-20 years, AND create jobs, the Republicans are still out there doing the misleading, even calling their repeal bill the repeal of the "job killing" health care bill.
As the provisions of the bill begin to take effect.......some important ones became effective this month, more and more people will be in support of it, and by the time it is fully implemented, tens of millions of people will have coverage that don't have coverage today, and hopefully, people with insurance won't find themselves facing bankruptcy as so many are doing today.
Is it a perfect bill? Of course not. We have a very imperfect health care system that cannot just be scrapped and have us start over, although that would probably be best to do. After all, when the people selling us the insurance have a direct conflict of interest, since they are in business to make a profit and their profit is reduced every time they cover a claim, their incentive is to provide as little coverage as possible, find every loophole to get out of paying, and look to the profits of themselves and their stockholders instead.
I always laugh at the people who don't want some "government official" making a decision as to whether they will be covered, yet are willing to leave that decision up to the people whose profits will be increased if they deny the claim, and decreased if they cover it. Yep.....you can REALLY trust THOSE people to have your best interests at heart.
Besides.....this whole repeal thing IS Kabuki theater, because it's not going any further. They can't get it through the Senate, and if they did, the President will veto it. So it's a huge waste of time and taxpayer money and they should be spending their time taking care of the nation's business instead. IMHO
