Conservatives for Patients Rights To Launch Anti-Health Reform Attack During Obama Vacation

Via Greg Sargent comes an internal memo--written by disgraced hospital CEO Rick Scott and sent to employees of his group Conservatives for Patients Righs--which brings to light part of the right's game plan for the rest of August recess.

"All CPR communications will continue to focus on the President's public option plan," the memo reads, "and the quagmire in Congress that has resulted from the White House's colossal misjudgment of public opinion plays directly into our hands."

We will continue to carry this message forward into next week with our Martha's Vineyard ad strategy--even on vacation, the President will get no quarter on the public option from Conservatives for Patients' Rights.

See the entire memo here. Whatever the administration's position on the public option--and that remains unclear--one of the largest reform opponents in the country is sticking with an anti-public option (or, more likely, anti-government health care) message. And they'll likely have some strong institutional support. Earlier this week the Republican National Committee issued a memo noting that, even if private co-operatives win out over the public option, the GOP keep hammering away with the message that the Democrats plan a government takeover of the health care system.
