Donald Berwick Now Heads CMS

Today, President Obama appointed Donald Berwick the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.  


Obama appointed Berwick under a recess appointment, allowing him to bypass the Senate confirmation procedures. Under the recess appointment, Berwick can stay in his position through the end of 2011.  Berwick had been facing a difficult nomination fight as Republicans have attacked him since he was nominated for the post in April, claiming he supports health care rationing.
