Upsides to Obamacare?

A Fox News poll and a recent house vote force me to question the information and opinions I have been fed about the health care bill. If this many people oppose the health care reform, there must be some good reasons. I try to ignore comments about it being socialist, mainly because this does not add much to the anti argument.
The Fox News article and poll stats are here:
On the issue of how Congress should handle health care, over half would like to see the new law either repealed entirely (27 percent) or parts of the law repealed (34 percent). Another 20 percent want the health care law expanded.
About one voter in seven (14 percent) would leave the new law in its current form.
Views on what should happen to the new law have held fairly steady for the last few months, with anywhere from a 54-to -61 percent majority supporting repealing part or all of the law, and about a third wanting it implemented as is or expanded.
The views range from wanting to completely take health care out of the picture, repealing parts of the bill, or keeping the whole thing as is. However, the majority seems to believe that the bill should at least be modified to better fit everyone. In it's current state, it seems there is no way it will pass as countless stated deem it unconstitutional to force people to pay for health care.
