Trigger Option Will Set Unattainable Goals For Private Insurance, Says Health Care Analyst
Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the CATO Institute, denies that the trigger option is a fair compromise in the health care reform debate.
“The trigger option will set unrealistic, unattainable goals for private insurance, with the expectation that private insurance will not be able to meet it,” Cannon told TRNS. “It’s not a question of whether the trigger will be pulled, as when it will be pulled.” (0:38)
