Yeah, people keep saying it's an unpopular bill, etc. etc.
The problem, however, is that most people are fucking clueless about what is on this watered down bill.
When asked about each provision on the bill, almost everything other than the mandated health insurance are overwhelmingly popular.
By the way, in many ways this bill is actually a lot like the one they republicans proposed as an alternative to Clinton's, which I suspect is strong indication that if the democrats gave in on everything (as opposed to almost everything like they just did), the GOP still wouldn't go along with it.
