The American people are too simple to choose from "an array of products" in "a system as massive and complex as health care. That is for leaders to do."
Behold the words of Donald Berwick -- doctor, Harvard professor, and Obama's nominee to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), arguably the most powerful position in U.S. medicine, directing the flow of almost one trillion dollars a year.
Speaking to a British National Health Service (NHS) audience in 2008, Berwick said that people must not believe in "market forces." Instead, "leaders with plans" should design the people's health care system. The high-minded tone comes as no surprise, considering that the doctor was chosen by the highest-minded leader with a plan ever elected to the American presidency.
