Potter states that Will suggests we should leave well enough alone. That is not true, Potter has, seemingly intentionally, misstated what Will said. Will's column analyzed many aspects of the costs of health care, and the impending crisis caused by massive deficits, and the massive costs of health reform, and specifically said: "The public, its attention riveted by the fiscal train wreck of trillion-dollar deficits for the foreseeable future, may be coming to the conclusion that we should leave bad enough alone". Notice, Will did not say to leave well enough alone. He specifically used different terminology, which Potter ignored. Will also cited polls and surveys on what Americans are willing to pay for health care. Potter's column is utterly misleading as to what Will said. I think we need health care changes, but Potter's analysis of the Will column is so incomplete and misleading, that Potter hurts the chances for health care reform. Potter comes across more and more as a man who made a lot of money in the insurance business, as an executive, and now sees he can make a lot more as a whistle blower. Let's have a real analysis of what critics of health care reform as proposed by many Democrats, not a misstatement of what these critics say. Potter's analysis of what Will says, versus what Will actually says, is tantamount to lies by Potter.
