Medicare administrator Donald Berwick resigns in the face of Republican opposition
President Obama's top Medicare official has resigned in the face of Republican pledges to block his confirmation in the Senate. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator "Dr. Death Panel" Donald M. Berwick notified colleagues Wednesday that he will step down Dec. 2, nearly a month before the expiration of his recess appointment. The White House will nominate Marilyn Tavenner, Medicare's deputy administrator, as his replacement. Posted by: Eohippus Phater7165 2011-11-24 |
