A Compromise They Could Live With

Remember four days ago when I shared A Compromise I Could Live With?

Via Wonk Room, CNN's political reporters are confirming that I'm not the only one who could live with it: "White House Negotiating With Snowe Over A ‘Trigger Public Option’ "

CNN’s Ed Henry: What we’re hearing that she’s talking about with White House staff is sort of a scaled-back bill that would focus on insurance reforms that both sides could agree to, but would not have a full public option, instead, would have a so-called trigger. What that means in layman’s terms is basically that the insurance companies would have a couple of years to make some dramatic changes. If they do not make those changes, then a public option would be triggered.
