Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Just Give Me the Power

Even The New York Times wonders why President Obama has yet to appoint an administrator to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“The vacancy stands out like a sore thumb,” said Dr. Denis A. Cortese, president of the Mayo Clinic, often cited by the White House as a health care model...

“Under a strong administrator, it could take the lead in making major changes in the health care delivery system, so we’d get better outcomes and better service at lower cost.”

Methinks the President cares not about the specifics of Health Care Reform, but only in having the power to control it.
