You need to become familiar with the fact that while many polls showed a slight majority of people opposing the health care bill, about 20% of those people opposed the bill from the LEFT – believing that it did not do _enough_ to socialize health care.
In other words, the majority of Americans with an opinion support the health care reform in this bill _or a more radical version of health care reform_.
National health care is extremely popular in every country that has it, and has never been repealed in any country. In no other country has the major conservative party even ever _tried_ to move from a national health care system to a private system – because they all support national health care! In time, this bill will be improved and we will someday join the rest of the developed world in enjoying high quality health care that is 1/2 to 3/4 as expensive (as a % of GDP) compared to now.
