throwing people off their insurance if they have a pre-existing condition or if they get seriously ill. he agrees with all of that. the idea here is to bring more security and stability to people who have insurance and to help those who don't have insurance get it at a price they can afford. the public option within that exchange is certainly a valuable tool. >> the reality is as a political matter, you cannot get republicans to sign on nor can you get moderate democrats, maybe ten or 12 of them to sign on if the president fights for a public option. true or false? >> look, why don't we let the president speak and make his case and then we can have this discussion. i believe there's an enormous consensus around a broad number of issues to make a great gimps for people who have insurance and people who need insurance and we have to build on that. i think the president will be able to do that on wednesday night and we'll go from there. >> what about the idea of a trigger, which is to say you can introduce a government plan into state if the private insurance market doesn't succeed a driv
