U.S. Senator and orthopedic surgeon John Barrasso made this statement yesterday on the recess appointment of Dr. Donald Berwick to CMS:
“This recess appointment is an insult to the American people. 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. Once again, President Obama has made a mockery of his pledge to be accountable and transparent.”
CMPI recently interviewed Senator Barrasso and he explained his reasons for opposing Dr. Berwick’s nomination.
