7. Here is the trigger.
If the insurance companies that are privately owned preform in an accountable way, people will chose to stay with them. If they do not each person will choose to pull the trigger based on their view and go to a public option.

A trigger that only starts the public option is saying that the same people that want to stop the public option get to decide if it is needed.

Why not let the competitive forces of the market and the choice of what people want be the trigger.



The only reason they want a trigger is because it pushes it down the road where they can stall or stop the legislation.

But more importantly why let the scorpion ride on your back and say you will only throw him off if he later decides to bite you... again.
