New Medicare/Medicaid Czar: The Health Care Redistributionist and Collectivist

Dr. Ronald Berwick, President Obama’s choice to oversee Medicare and Medicaid, will run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services without any vetting by the Senate. That is because Obama decided to bypass the Senate before even one hearing was held, by using his power to make recess appointments while the Senate is on vacation.

The New York Times applauded Obama’s move and accused Dr. Berwick’s critics of distorting his record. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocked a reporter from CNS who asked Gibbs about Berwick’s past statements concerning health care rationing and redistribution. But Berwick’s supporters, try as they might, cannot wipe away the truth about the dangerous socialist policies that Berwick has advocated and will now be in a position to institute while administering huge swaths of Obamacare.

I pray that this so called doctor will someday be on the receiving end of obamas death panels. Like reich said we will let you die if you are “old” and need special treatment.
