I would also suspect that it is primarily the outrageous claims that seem to get the press. For example, the CBO says it will not save money in the long term and will increase the deficit. Or how the system can handle 40 million more people having regular doctor visits without an increase in the number of doctors. Or how waiting times will increase because of that. Or how taxes will most likely have to increase to cover the costs. Those are not particularly sensational when someone spouts off about them.
How many of you have been to a town hall on the subject? I went to one with my congressman Shadegg, and it wasn't one with the vitriol or outrageous claims. Those that get the press are the ones with the outrageous claims.
There are plenty of completely reasonable reasons to be against the plan.
