The Logic of a Trigger

Susan Collins wants a Trigger.  She acknowledges that the Public Option is the best mechanism to fix our broken system of private insurance companies, but then with a straight face she says that the threat alone of fixing the broken system should convince the broken system to become unbroken.  The threat should be a few years long.

When the car you're speeding in is about to crash into a wall, it's not the potentiality of a seatbelt that will save you.  It's a seatbelt.  It's brakes.  It's evasive steering. It's a bumper. It's an airbag.

Think about that! The solution should only become available if the problem keeps getting worse for two more years.  

In other words: before we fix it, we must first let it get worse.  That makes sense.

NOTE: In some of the photos below, crowds waiting are waiting for medical care provided by Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps, who have been called upon in America's largest cities to help some of the tens of millions of Americans whose government would let them die.
