Health-Care Reformers Versus a Reading Public

Senator Cornyn,
Very nice article, "Do Health Care Reformers Fear A Reading Public?", which you co-authored with Benjamin E. Sasse and was posted on Forbes.
However I disagree with you and Pres. Obama on a major point. Healthcare reform is not absolutely necessary. A few changes could be made to improve the system, and that is always true of any operation. But, if we start with the idea of reform, we will have major changes, the consequences of which most will be not predictable.
Secondly, you raise a whole series of questions. Questions only arise when things are going wrong. Generally, each question applies to a particular problem. Let's concentrate on fixing the problems (without major reform), rather than on the questions themselves.
You have a powerful position in the Senate. Go to it! Check with the Blue Dogs. Perhaps they will help.
