Do Americans View Healthcare Bill Favorably?: Fact Check

50.4% Oppose Healthcare Bill
40% Support

"The health care bill passed by Congress and signed by Obama was supported by only 34 percent of Floridians in the poll and opposed by 54 percent. The bill was especially unpopular among senior citizens, a big voting bloc in Florida..."
