Claim: Two liberal groups, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America are airing an ad that faults Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley for not supporting a "public option" as part of any proposed health care legislation. But their ad uses inflated figures. Grassley has spoken out against including a "public option" as part of a health care bill. The ad implies that he's done so because he's "taken over $2 million dollars from the big health and insurance industries that oppose reform."
