Why is opposition to Health Care Reform rising?

The latest RealClearPolitics average shows that 49% of the public oppose health care reform, while only 40% are in support of it.  There have been sharp decreases in support over the last few months and weeks, why is this?  Is it because people have all of a sudden changed their minds on wanting to insure the uninsured?  Have Americans decided they could care less that there are millions without health insurance?  I think not.

So what is it? It is the costs and government control.  The two go hand in hand.  With more government control comes more costs to the taxpayers.  The American public is already staring a huge deficit right in the face with no end to spending in sight.  Americans are standing up to government, not against those in need.  Americans understand that reform is needed for affordable and guaranteed coverage.  They just do not want this reform.

No one argues with the intent of these bills in congress, we all want to make sure Americans can get health insurance.  The argument is which is the best way.
