Today, as Drew Altman...

...of the Kaiser Family Foundation explains (my emphasis),

Several popular provisions [of the health care reform act] take effect. They include allowing adult children up to age 26 to be on their parents' insurance; banning lifetime benefits caps and loosening annual limits on insurance coverage payouts; prohibiting insurance companies from kicking people off of their policies when they get sick; and requiring that newly purchased insurance policies cover preventive services at no cost to patients.

Still, the law polls poorly:

Public sentiment about health reform has shifted within a narrow band since the spring, with slightly more in favor in some months and slightly more against in others. For many who oppose it, the law reflects deeper discontent. When we asked people who said they were angry about the law why they were angry, the vast majority reported that, more than being upset with the law itself, they were angry about the general direction in Washington. Meanwhile, with a few notable exceptions -- such as requiring that people have insurance -- the law's major provisions appear to be very popular with the public.

So why is it so unpopular?

Confusion and misperception are rampant, with more than a third of seniors still thinking the law contains "death panels" (it does not).

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that too many people are getting their information from the likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck?
