susan page and mike duffy from time magazine. i m candy crowley and this is state of the union. first our news of the day. former vice president dick cheney is recover from heart transplant surgery. joining me now for the latest from the hospital is cnn s athena jones. athen athena, do they have any idea how long he might be there? reporter: well, we understand that most heart patients who go through a surgery like this end up staying in the hospital for about a month. i should mention that vice president cheney at 71 is on the upper end of the age range of people who get heart transplants, at least according to the international society of heart and lung implantation. his age could play into how long he s kept here under observation, candy. certainly this is not the first time, as we all know, he s been hospitalized, maybe the most serious as far as i can tell, but nonetheless, he s had a long history. reporter: absolutely. he s had five heart attacks over the co
just 38% of americans like this new health care law. while 56% oppose it. it s a central issue for the republican presidential candidates including mitt romney, who took a jab at president obama while speaking in rockford, illinois, last weekend. you know his views on health care. his view is the heavy hand of the government can do better than you can in picking your type of insurance, the kind of coverage you ll have. ultimately, i believe, the kind of procedures you will be entitled to will be decided by government under his plan. if i m the next president of the united states, on day one i will stop obamacare in its tracks and get it repealed. look closer and you will see people oppose the law for different reasons. 37% say it s too liberal. 14% say it s not liberal enough. in fact, recent polls show most people don t even know what the law really does. so why don t we give you a quick reminder. already in effect health plans must provide certain preventive services su
