Here's Michael Steele, lying about how the public option will allegedly cost Americans so much more than what we have now.

Here's Michele Bachmann, undercutting Steele with what to her and her insurance-company buddies is a scaaaary idea: That the public option will be much cheaper that what we have now -- so much so that it, in finest Law of the Marketplace fashion, drives the inferior private insurers out of business.

Geezo peezo, Republicans! Can't you even keep your health care lies straight? Apparently not. (More after the jump.)

UPDATE: Over at the Seminal, we find out that a study from the Commonwealth Fund shows that the public option could save the country $265 billion, whereas allowing private insurance companies to keep their virtual monopoly on health care (the Republicans' favored move) would COST us $32 billion! Why do Republicans want to take money out of your wallet and give it to their insurance-company friends? They have much more money than you as it is.
