In the article it says, " a new NEWSWEEK Poll shows that while a majority of Americans say they oppose Obama's plan, a majority actually support the key features of the legislation."

Further down it says: " The NEWSWEEK Poll asked respondents about eight health-care-reform provisions that Obama and many Democrats in Congress have generally supported. It found that the majority of Americans supported five of those provisions, three by particularly large margins. Eighty-one percent agreed with the creation of a new insurance marketplace, the exchange, for individual subscribers to compare plans and buy insurance at a competitive rate. Seventy-six percent thought health insurers should be required to cover anyone who applies, including those with preexisting conditions; and 75 percent agreed with requiring most businesses to offer health insurance to their employees, with incentives for small-business owners to do so."

People don't like the overall bill, but there is stuff in there that people do lie. I think this also shows two things that I find interesting. 1. It really shows that nobody really knows what is in the bill and what isn't and 2. the republicans have done a masterful job of demonizing it. People hear about it and instantly think there is nothing of value in it when that is just not the case. I don't support it as a whole, but there are some good things in it.
