any more, I'm really suspicious of names that sound too good to be true. Do the labels really describe what they are about? The right does this all the time, using bogus patriotic labels.

Reform is a popular label to put in a name of something. All too often it means tear everything down and "free" things up for some bullshit "market" solution to a problem wherein everything must be profitized.

Sounds like they did good.
