Blaming himself for coolness to his health care overhaul, President Barack Obama is seeking to reintroduce the law to voters who don't much like or understand it six months after he signed it.
The White House gathered patients from around the country who have benefited from the measure, and the president rolled up his sleeves to address them Wednesday in a sunny Virginia backyard, highlighting changes that take effect at the six-month mark on Thursday. These include a ban on lifetime coverage limits, as well as free coverage for preventive care and immunizations. Young adults will be able to stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26, and kids with pre-existing health conditions won't be denied coverage.
"We just got to give people some basic peace of mind," the president said,
"I thank you from the bottom of my heart," Norma Byrne of Vineland, N.J., told the president, explaining she was benefiting from the law's provisions that are closing a Medicare coverage gap for prescription drugs.
But such gratitude isn't the norm.
A new Associated Press poll finds high levels of misunderstanding about what's actually in the law, and more people opposed than in support. And with crucial midterm elections six weeks away, the only Democrats running ads about the historic legislation are the ones who voted "no."

He did sell it “under the table”, sucked off Lobbyists, what else?
What an arrogant A**.
No amount of perfume can cover the stench of this feces.
We don’t want the frickin’ health care law. We liked the private sector health care we already had, we don’t want the government to take over our health care. Get it, Bozo?
Once again, it’s all about him. Arrogant SOB. Never seems to have occurred to him that the American people just didn’t buy what he was selling. No, that would require giving credit to someone else.
But, but what about the 40 year olds who still live in their parents' basement?!?
"We just got to give people some basic peace of mind," the president said
Resign.
So obuma has been reduced to gathering carefully screened useful idiots from nursing homes, dumping them in a backyard and calling it a rally.
Hitler would’ve been embarassed.
Hardly faulting himself or his shiity bill. He believes we "don't understand" it. This guy would never take responsibility for bad decisions.
So...he figures that thinking people would have liked this steaming bag o’crap any better if he had tried to sell it more? How funny.
The media meme is that “the people” just don’t “understand” the wonderful, new health law. Tacit message: those opposed are too stupid to understand.
Sounds familiar...

“as well as free coverage for preventive care and immunizations”
Only the Idiot in the White House could call this “free”.
So, Obama failed to explain his health bill.
Obama failed to sell his health bill.
Obama failed to garner bipartisan support for his health bill.
Obama succeeded in pissing off two thirds of the country with his health bill.
Lipstick? Pig?
Whenever the people clearly do not want what the Democrats are selling, they ALWAYS blame it on bad marketing.
“We are not getting our message out!” was the cry last time. They can never accept that “We got your message loud and clear and it was REJECTED.”
Besides, revisionist history already. This gum flapper flapped his gums over this Bill so much that people were sick of it and sick of him. But if ONLY he had given ANOTHER speech! Then we would all be clamoring for 0bamacare! NOT!
YOu mean the law that has already caused many people to see dramatically higher premiums for their current health coverage, and others (like myself) finding myself looking for new coverage because my current provider is cutting back their service area... all connected to the “hope and change” coming the first of the year...
