>   A correction. The lawsuit is not about revoking tax-exempt status for the clinics. (they don't have tax-exempt status). It's an antitrust suit that claims "the clinics agreed to boycott new Medicaid patients to increase the effective Medicaid reimbursement rates and to accelerate reimbursement payments" by such measures as sharing phone scripts and having their boards of directors pass similar policies. The lawsuit is available at www.healthcareconsumers.org.
