Is a "Trigger" Option the Answer to Compromise Between a Public Option and the Status Quo?

[Smash255]

We need to get something done and get it done now. A trigger might be better than doing nothing, but we need comprehensive reform. We need to fight back from on the lies, the misconception and whatever other crap the right wants to throw out. The Republicans were given an opportunity to work in a bi-partisan manner and they wanted no part of it. Enough is enough we need to get this done, and jam it home if we have to. Its time to fight back.

While I think single-payer would be best, I'll take a public option. Anything less, and Obama will not have accomplished what millions of people voted him into office to accomplish.

As a conservative who favors market reforms and tax incentives to government involvement, I also would like Democrats to pass a public option so that they'll be kicked to the curb in the next election for ignoring the expressed will of the people.
