of course we all hope it will do some good. But the whole point of my post was to explain that if the "reform" fails to deliver on the hopes and promises (in the minds of most Americans), we will be much worse off than if nothing at all were to pass because future reform efforts will prove to be even more difficult than they are now.

I could copy and paste my explanation, but of course you could just scroll to the top of this page.
