Late last week, President Obama made a recess appointment of Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration). This has provided a good chunk of the week and weekend’s polititainment.

I know little about Berwick or his merits as an administrator of the government health care system, but in an April Cato@Liberty post I reviewed an article of his on “patient-centered health care.” If you’re interested, take a look at my comment, “A Little Less Poetry, a Little More Economics.”
