You know that is just people being ignorant of what the Affordable Care Act actually is.
Literally, it's a good sounding bill. Much like the "Patriot Act." When someone asks "Do you oppose the Patriot Act?" People will of course say no! But if they knew what the bill actually was they would be against it.
Having said that, it shouldn't be surprising that many in this country support it. It's an entitlement country now - and who the hell cares if we have no long term viable option to pay for it.
