It is so bad that triggers and opt outs aren't going to make it that much worse. We need to just get the insurance reforms for pre-existing conditions and rescission past in stand alone legislation and either get back to it next year or just primary the whole lot of them out even if it means waiting until 2012 and primary Obama out of the White House. If we wait four more years to get a real progressive in POTUS and get reform passed that first year that goes into effect immediately (that used to be one of our prerequisites), it is still the same time frame as this turd they want to pass now.
