As reported by the New York Times:

“Until we have had a chance to read the full 2,074-page Reid bill, it’s impossible for Americans to fully grasp what the majority leader has cooked up behind closed doors,” Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said in a statement Wednesday evening. “It is my hope that Senator Reid will afford all Americans the same courtesy that he had: ample time to study the legislation and deliberate the best way to proceed.”

Mr. Cornyn, who is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, added: “Congress must take the time to get this right. If the president and majority are more interested in getting health care reform right for all 300 million Americans than they are in putting a political feather in their cap for the midterm elections, this shouldn’t be an issue.”
