From the article:
“Pessimism. Fear. Anger. Those are the most common sentiments expressed about the Affordable Care Act, according to a Fox News national poll that asks voters to pick from a range of emotions that describe how they feel about the law.
Pessimistic is on top: 49 percent say it describes how they feel.
Next is scared (45 percent), followed by angry (43 percent).
On the positive side, 40 percent of voters are optimistic about Obamacare, 24 percent are proud and 21 percent feel excited.”

    I remember reading at article a while back that when the National Health Service (NHS) was first implemented in the U.K. in 1946-1947, it ended up being so unpopular and problematic that the British government had to allow for a private healthcare industry as well, which operated independently of and separately from the NHS.

    Even today, the NHS has so many problems with corruption and inefficiency that there is a large movement that's trying to get it dismantled entirely. If the U.K. is trying to dismantle its own public healthcare system, that tells me we ought to think twice before we implement something similar here in the US.
