The chart above proves that the public loves the Affordable Health Care Act, when asked if they like the individual parts of it. Why do they dissaprove of the bill overall? The answer is very simple, the bill is not understood. We have allowed the opponants of the bill to define it as something it is not. When the American People are given the facts, they approve of the bill almost entirely down the line and by WIDE margins.



Remember, it is called Obama Care because President Obama cares.

1. You can't "sum parts" to get an overall approval of the bill.

They don't "overwhelmingly approve" of 'Obamacare' because they don't approve of the mandate.

3. The differance in approval/dissaproval of the mandate is very small

approx. 1/2 of dissaproval of the overall bill, and yet individual parts of the bill are wildly popular. The disconnect is between perception of the bill and the reality of the bill.

This is exactly what happened with "Hillary Care." History is repeating itself, to our collective loss.

4. The reality of the bill in in the hundreds of pages of text...

how many people, even among the bill's strong advocates, actually know everything that's in it ?

2. I've been saying this for months...

The people that are protesting the bill are protesting what they THINK is in the bill. Remember, they still believe there are death panels in it.
