Mayo Clinic believes that the provision in the Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus’ bill to foster the creation of consumer operated and oriented plans (CO-OP) is an encouraging step toward securing access to insurance to all Americans.
This option will give patients more opportunities for health care choice than a Medicare-like, price controlled plan. In addition, the Co-op plans, which will be member-run, nonprofit insurance companies, will be truly public plans because they will be owned and run by the consumers who use them.

Co Op will not work neither will triggers. WE have triggers in Medicare Part B but they never TRIGGERED!
We need a real public option.
