2. Dems: Memo On Medicare Changes Isn't Ours -- It's A GOP 'Hoax'

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/03/health-care-...

Democrats today are accusing Republicans of circulating a fraudulent memo that claims to be sent to "Democratic health and communications staff" and which suggests the majority party leadership wants to make big changes to Medicare next year after health care passes.

A senior Democratic leadership aide told TPMDC in an interview the memo, obtained and printed by Politico and leading the Drudge Report this afternoon a few days ahead of the health care vote Sunday, is "a hoax."

... "If this were a Democratic communications person who wrote this, they should be fired, because this looks like Republican talking points," the third Democratic aide told TPMDC.

The memo alleging the changes commonly known as a "doc fix" would be politically damaging to Democrats, who already are holding together a fragile coalition to get the needed 216 votes Sunday.
