There is an information vacuum, and people are filling it in with their worse fears. Obama was playing coy with Congress from the start by not presenting a detailed and specific plan for them to act on. Now there are 5 or 6, with only one being available to the public. Given all of the misleading information from government over the past couple of centuries, I think it is very understandable to have the level of distrust. recently they rush through bailouts, and stimulus packages and people are smart enough to understand most of the rhetoric used was over the top at this point, and now the same rhetoric is being used to "sell" health care. People have had enough.
