Republican Sens. John McCain, Chuck Grassley, and Orrin Hatch played the scare card again on the talk shows Sunday, each claiming a public option would somehow reduce health insurance options.
Other scare tactics:
- Hatch falsely implied Democrats were trying to slash Medicare benefits
- Grassley partially blamed his "pull the plug on Grandma" comments on discussion of the public option
- McCain endorsed the substance (if not the language) of Sarah Palin’s "death panel" claim.
