People who follow the health bureaucracy were appalled when President Obama appointed Dr. Don Berwick to be Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services - the Health Czar for people over 65 or low-income Americans - without Senate confirmation.
President Obamacare skirted this Constitutional requirement because Dr. Berwick is an unapologetic fan of government-monopoly control of citizens' health benefits. Until now, the Administration has never been held accountable for this reckless appointment.
Now, the new majority in the House of Representatives is finally asking him the tough questions about he plans to limit health benefits to people under his control - America's Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
A new website, Don Berwick Online, does the public service of bringing these hearings, and Dr. Berwick's record, to the people's attention.
