Seems like a double standard. The GOP is using this alleged Democratic memo as a basis for an attack when the memo indicates, “we increase reimbursement levels to primary care physicians for Medicaid patients.”

This is odd because the argument from the right wing has been that HCR would place a financial hardship upon physicians who they claim would go John Galt with its passage.

So they will take what essentially could be seen as a concession to free-market physicians and use it as a reverse populist propaganda tool in order to claim that they now “bought” the physicians or in today’s case, the AMA. Seems a bit like Alinsky tactics in play.
