It looks like Dr. Donald Berwick will end up running Medicare and Medicaid, being appointed while the Senate is recessing. Despite the facts that this position has been vacant since 2006, the Senate is only out of session for two weeks, and members of the Senate are still awaiting for Dr. Berwick to provide responses to some inquiries, the president must think it’s critical not to wait and press forward.
Or, he could be worried that a confirmation hearing would re-hash all the awful things that Obamacare stands for.
