Four other congressional committees have already passed good bills that include the public option, but the Finance Committee has been dragging its feet and considering half-measures—like the trigger—that won't fix our nation's broken health care system.
Make no mistake: the trigger is a Trojan horse designed to kill the public option by delaying its availability and then offering it only in a limited number of states after certain conditions are met.
So we need to send a strong message to the Senate Finance Committee that health care reform must include a strong public health insurance option that's available immediately—not a trigger.
