Basically the plan is to tie Medicaire spending to growth of the economy even more and if spending exceeds that fraction then this new IPAB board must make cuts, which ultimately means physicians have to accept less reimbursement. The govt's argument is that this will trim wasteful and unnecessary medical spending. The doctors are saying this is unfair because medical costs grow faster than the economy, that they're already forced to take cuts through the SGR mechanism, and that this non-medical IPAB board has no right to make recommendations on medical matters.

So, basically, there's going to be less paid to doctors through Medicaire in the future. And the doctors are angry about it. Nothing new here.
