Even after the extremely flawed rollout of HealthCare.gov, a majority of Americans still seem to have an open mind about whether Obamacare will eventually work, and more than half the public says the current problems the system faces can eventually be solved, according to a new national survey.

The CNN/ORC International poll also indicates that nearly six in 10 Americans oppose the national health care law, but some give the Affordable Care Act a thumbs down because it isn't liberal enough. Forty-one percent say they are against the law because they think it's too liberal, and 14% say the measure doesn't go far enough. That means that 54% either support Obamacare or say it's not liberal enough. Ref. CNN
