"Most" people are against it, is a traditional reaction from the vocal minority. The people voted for Obama and one of his programme points was healthcare reform. What you read in a blog is not necessarily the holy truth. Actually, most of the time it is not. What may have happened is that the legal health care specialists in the House fully understood and read what was in front of them for signing, and that they could therefore convince their collegues to vote in favour (or against) the bill. None of the "lawmakers" knows everything about every law. Probably the health care specialists will bother less to read detailed defense laws, or anti terrorism stuff.
