Hard to discuss specifics without specifics.
As it is though it literally sounds like a trojan horse minus the stealth.
My thought is that if people are opposed to a public option right now we shouldn't pass it right now. If down the road people want a public option we can pass it then. Trying to legislate a trigger mechanism is, to me, a way of sugarcoating something people don't want right now to try and shove it through despite their not wanting it.
Put simply I don't think building in tripwires and triggers is the way to run an industry, if the premise is that the public option might be viewed as a good idea down the road then lets vote on it.../gasp...down the road.
I think at bare minimum any trigger idea should include a new vote when the plan is triggered to confirm it, and it should need the same ratio of votes then as it does now.
