Susan Collins wants you to know that she does NOT support a public option trigger:
A key swing vote on healthcare reform said Sunday she would not support a public option "trigger" -- a series of benchmarks that, if not met by a certain time, would authorize the creation of a government insurance program.
"No -- the problem with triggers is that is just delays the public option," Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told CNN's "State of the Union," adding that her major qualm with the public option was its scope and cost.
I like how she's playing along with the pwoggies: oooh, that big, bad public option! You want her support on a trigger for the 5% solution? It's gonna cost ya. Please, just because she's from Maine and some call her Olympia's twin, don't think that just one date is going to get you the trigger.
After all, it was just one line in the campaign platform.
