Tom Brokaw -- after lecturing us on how ignorant Americans are when it comes to health care reform -- wrongly claims that the public option would cost $1 trillion.

Uh, actually a preliminary CBO estimate said the public option would save $150 billion. Yes, save. The fact is, health care reform without a public option would be more expensive than health care reform with a public option. (And as a nice little bonus, a smaller proportion of the money would go to the private health insurance companies that created the health care mess int he first place.)
