I would counter, what is the public option to you and what is the real public option. The problem I see (as I sit in our nation's capitol) is that we are arguing for and against a "boogeyman.". No one I know can FULLY describe what the Congressional version of a public option is, nor can they describe what a trigger is, nor what the Republican "plan" is. But, we have marketing programs promulgated that discuss PARTS of each strategy. This is why I believe polls are useless. Polls measure the public's "affection" for parts of each ideal.
The bigger problem I see is that everyone knows something must be done but the marketing plans don't match the legislation. I have learned more in the past year than in the past 10 on how it all works...
P.S. I don't know the answer. I just know that the proposals are not fully being discussed and the pubic is hearing marketing pitch after marketing pitch...
