RNC chairman Michael Steele is warning against the very, very, really high price of the health care bill.

In an interview with the blog Right Wing News, Steele laid out the arguments against the bill; “Call it what it is. This is a takeover by the federal government of health care. OK, that’s number one. Number two, it’s going to cost us over a trillion dollars a year to do it.”

Over a trillion per year? Where is Steele even getting that number?

Our request to the RNC for comment was not returned.
