During the Senate hearing where Snowe voted "yea" and the Baucus bill moved out of committee Snowe had said that there had been "decades of inaction" Guess she wants to give the insurance companies another decade or two to do the right thing that they could have done 'decades" ago. Fuck the insurance companies pull the trigger now Was Landrieu watching those elections yesterday? Does she come up next year for re-election?

Was Landrieu watching those elections yesterday? Does she come up next year for re-election?

As Jon wrote, the trigger in Medicare, Part D didn't incite any change in the behavior of drug companies and insurance providers. There's nothing to make anyone believe that a public option trigger would be any different. Have the politicians arguing against the public option spent much time dealing with medical bills, visiting hospitals, worrying about coverage? A trigger would be ineffective, clearly.
