Barack Obama appointed Donald Berwick to head Medicaid and Medicare. Dr. Berwick is an unabashed supporter of a one payer system based on the British model. A model well known for rationing services. He also believes in redistributing other people's wealth as a means to pay for this government program.
The American people didn't have the benefit of a confirmation hearing. Democratic Senator Max Baucus, who heads the committee, refused to put Mr. Berwick on the docket. After the beating democrats took on passing the health care bill against the will of the American people, it is safe to assume that they didn't want to be embarrassed by an admitted socialist that is Dr. Berwick.
Senate republicans vented their indignation:
"This recess appointment is an insult to the American people," Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Tuesday night. "Dr. Berwick is a self-professed supporter of rationing health care, and he won't even have to explain his views to the American people in a Congressional hearing."
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, accused the administration of showing "arrogance of power" with the move.
"This demonstrates a troubling pattern by this administration to force a dangerous agenda on the American people by whatever means necessary," he said.
Barack Obama has added another socialist feather to his hat. If you have any doubts about the radical nature of this president then you're an idiot.
