And unlike his other moderate Democratic colleagues, he has claimed he's not even open to the compromise proposal that Republican Senator Olympia Snowe has been pushing - a so-called trigger mechanism whereby a state would be able to access a national public option only when the private sector was not providing enough affordable plans of its own.
