With the rollout of the health insurance exhanges, perhaps the largest provision of the Affordable Care Act, polling has revealed that the public is still quite uninformed on the law. 56% say the news media’s coverage has been “mostly about politics and controversy” while only 6% say it has been mostly about how the law will affect people.
