Did I read online that O has changed his mind and will submit this person to the senate for confirmation after all?
Heres another Berwick quote: The decision is not whether or not we will ration care, the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. It is bad enough that Obama would nominate an individual who holds such views to head Medicare and Medicaid. To install him under a recess appointment with no Senate hearing and no Senate confirmation vote is an arbitrary act of an imperial presidency so outrageous as to embarrass even Richard Nixon. Since Berwick can only occupy the position for approximately 17 months, the question inevitably arises: What does Obama want Berwick to do that is so important that it justifies circumventing the Senates constitutional duty to advise and consent on presidential appointments?
