Obama, without fanfare, submitted Donald Berwick's name to the U.S. Senate Monday for confirmation as the top Medicare and Medicaid administrator.
"The Obama Administration's recess-appointed head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) -- and his staff aren't wasting a lot of time getting settled into their offices.

Obama nominee to run Medicare, Dr. Berwick, hasn't seen a patient in years. And the two Harvard professor positions listed on his White House biography as well as another position as a senior scientist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston are essentially "honorary professorships," which require two or three seminars or meetings a year. Dr. Berwick disclosed holding more than a dozen current positions on a government ethics filing, though one full-time paying job: his 40-hours-per-week position as the president and chief executive of the nonprofit Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), where he earned nearly $900,000 in salary, bonus and deferred compensation last year.
