Does it matter to you that he went head to head battle with Michael Moore over SICKO?
Let’s do it this way ... who would rather become the surgeon general? You have to pick someone who has a reasonable chance of being picked by this administration. Bet you can’t think of one.
He’s a good choice.
This is REAL life ... not a movie!
I have some personal acquaintances who consider themselves qualified. My objections to him include his prior experience on Hillary’s health care task force, and the fact that Obama’s plans clearly are not much different from the ones formulated there. I am not familiar with SICKO at all, so I don’t understand why this makes him some kind of hero. The Surgeon General becomes the fount of wisdom on why some sectors of society and some ill people should have less access to health services than others due to their Health Status (too old, too sick, too malformed, too unformed, etc. to deserve medical intervention). This is a SERIOUS issue! And I don’t know why Obama can’t come up with someone who didn’t work for Hillary!
