Gettin' things done

I had a very productive and inspired day today. I went on a run with Fidelity, did all my dishes, packed a bunch of stuff, painted TP tubes to make a tea organizer, cleaned out a small suitcase I've been borrowing from my mom for several years, and sent some emails regarding work-study and references for my application. All of this was done by bits and pieces while listening to good music, and Lost Rocket happened to be by the house in the early afternoon too.

In broader news: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/20/new-poll-77-percent-suppo_n_264375.html

'[77% of] Americans feel it is important to have a "choice" between a government-run health care insurance option and private coverage, according to a public opinion poll released on Thursday.
[...]
Earlier in the week, after pollsters for NBC dropped the word "choice" from their question on a public option, they found that only 43 percent of the public were in favor of "creating a public health care plan administered by the federal government that would compete directly with private health insurance companies."
[...]
While arguments about what type of language best describe the public option persist --"choice" is considered a trigger word that everyone naturally supports -- it seems clear that the framing of the provision goes a long way toward determining its popularity.'

So does this mean 34% of Americans don't understand the issue well enough to see that the two questions are asking the same thing? Or do they perhaps look at the question slantwise, thinking that the "choice" of private coverage must be preserved but not actually favoring the creation of a public option? Yet, in whose mind is private coverage the one in question? I really don't get how the polling numbers can differ by SO MUCH. And if the government doesn't create a public option, what is the health care bill going to consist of?
