An increasing number of Americans are unhappy with the House bill to repeal and replace what's nick-named Obamacare, the health care insurance legislation first passed under the Obama administration, some 57% according to the latest poll by Quinnipiac University..

And while American voters do not want to lose their insurance, Speaker Paul Ryan insists, it's good legislation.
