In a age where leaders are more conscientious about polls and public opinion in general it seems strange that unpopular legislation survives media barrages better than its makers. Obama's healthcare has survived everything thrown at it from the liberal wing of the democratic party apathy and the republicans hatred, the american public disapproval and a supreme court decision. There are some good things in the bill such as the banishment of the preexisting condition clause but for the most part it does not really solve the problem of healthcare on America. This is a major win for the Obama Administration as the Whitehouse and congressional democrats would look remarkably weak in an election year.
