Hunter has a good catch and may be the ultimate answer to Chris Bowers' question - here is Bill Nelson (the Florida Nelson) arguing for the trigger instead of the opt out:

Bowers thinks the discussion is about national level playing field public option versus national robust public option. It is not. Bill Nelson wants to thread his particular needle. Here is where the final bargaining starts. How we got here is interesting but not to the point. The Federalist Option is the political answer for getting a robust public option out of the Senate imo. Then we move to the House-Senate conference and see what happens.

Speaking for me only
