Medicare Czar for Rationing Before He Was Against It

You all remember Donald Berwick, right? He’s the radical Obama tapped to run the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, despite Berwick’s past statements romanticizing Britain’s government-run health care and a 2009 declaration that we must “ration with our eyes open.”

There was no way in hell Obama could’ve got Berwick confirmed through the normal Senate channels, so he proceeded to make a “recess” appointment and shield Berwick from ever having to defend his love-affair with socialized medicine. To put this in perspective, leading the Center for Medicare & Medicaid is not some flimsy position. As the New York Times put it, Berwick now commands the healthcare spending for one-in-three Americans and “has a budget bigger than the Pentagon’s.”. . . . .
