Obama's Pick to Head Medicare/Medicaid

Our last post was about Obama's bad choices for his debt commission—people who want to loot Social Security.

But there is apparently some good news: We have it on good authority—my sister, who is a physician assistant and medical director at a network of rural health centers in West Virginia—that Obama's pick to head the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, Donald Berwick, is a very good choice. She said she was "giddy" when she heard the news.

Berwick is a professor at Harvard Med School and also heads the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Mass.
