I'll tell you right now why the "trigger" is a non-starter that is going nowhere

The liberals in the House won't go for it. There. The end. Finished. Back to the real public option now.

1. Why don't people like the public option?

2. Olympia doesn't like the public option, period. I ould see cover for Ben Nelson, but I wish we had

leverage on him.

3. i wish we could take away every congress person's insurance and make them have ours!!

i mean, they don't live in the real world. I have depression. I just had a baby a month ago. I can't afford to go to my counseling appointment on Monday which in all reality i really NEED to go to right now as I swear I could lose it any time now.... but I can't afford the $25 I will have to pay and so now I am going to have to cancel it and hope I will have the money in two weeks when bob gets paid again. I want these people who think everything is just hunky dory with health insurance and want to give the health insurance industry MORE power to do whatever they want to have to live with my insurance. And i know that I've got it good compared to others. And a public option, which should have just been medicare for all, is bullshit if everyone can't buy in. yes, let's make sure that no one can actually access it. or we can water it down so much that what's the damned point! but it's ok because the people who are deciding it have GREAT insurance and great pay to go along with it even if they had to pay out of pocket for things. sorry. i am just fed up and tired.
