Understanding that I am sometime way off in my own world, I have to ask if I am the only one who doesn't view this as total bullshit. The co-ops are nonsense and Conrad is losing that attempt to provide poltical cover, so now they have invented a new entity - the trigger option!
CNN: Obama about to pull the trigger on health care.
Really! You are going to try and sell us the possibility of a public option that will be created at some point in the future, when (not if) the insurance companies don't do what you tell them. Anyone else smelling the stench of desperation. This has political cover written all over it. We need to label something a win. We don't think we can pass a bill with a public option. Let's create something that looks and sounds like a public option, but that blue cross dogs will know means nothing to their corporate sponsors. Lets set a time line that gets us past the next election cycle and bam - we are out of this mess.
Has it really come to this?
