I don't believe the cost estimates for the public option for one second.

Given that Obama had to revise a deficit estimate of 7 trillion in May to now 9 billion in August. That's a 29% increase.

They can't get the Cash for Clunkers costs correct, they can't do anything correctly.

You would have to be a complete moron to think the CBO estimate is anywhere close to what would happen.

NPR today, btw, said that the state "public option" in Maine could not compete in terms of prices because (surprise) many of the sickest patients (who otherwise could not likely buy insurance on the open market) signed up with it and pulled it down.
