JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): .....the health care reform law and its impact on insurance coverage.
New insurance marketplaces, called exchanges, are getting set to open in October. But there's still much frustration and confusion about the law. A new poll finds 53 percent of the public is opposed to it. Just 25 percent say they have a very good understanding of it. And only about half of the uninsured Americans surveyed are supportive of it, with many questions about how it works.
We're starting a series tonight in which we will try to answer some of your more frequently asked questions.
Ray Suarez is in charge.

What we have heard online and from people we have interviewed are basic questions: Who can sign up and what's covered? That's where we start tonight.
Julie Rovner from NPR is with us again to help us walk through this.
And, Julie, we have been hearing about the exchanges for a really long time. The window finally opens up on October 1. What is an exchange and who are the customers?
