TRIGGER!
Who here thinks for 1 second that this "trigger" is never going to be pulled? We all know that when it comes to spending billions of dollars, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid both have "itchy fingers" on the "trigger" and will pull it if one insurance company "gets out of line". We all know the bar will be set very low that will cause this trigger to go off and once it does, like a nuclear bomb, there is no going back and what's done is done forever.
They have tried CO-OPS to appease us, but we all know that is slang for "government takeover" (see what happened with AmTrak, Fannie-Mae, Freddy-Mac .... boy that sure went well!). Now they will only do a government option if certain changes in healthcare don't meet their objectives and standards. Of course we won't be privy to that information until after they pass the bill, for you can better your bottom dollar that there won't be anymore town hall meetings to get feedback from us either. After all, many of our congressmen today view the town halls as THEIR meetings and not OUR meetings.
Congress! Stop trying to re-package CRAP! Crap is crap no matter how you sell it. The American people don't trust you with their health or their money and this case, you want to control BOTH. You need to stop listening to marketing pundits who will give you the "magic words" that will open the doors to our bank accounts and start listening to us the American people.
