As usual with the ruling class, questions and accountability are killer bunny equivalents:
Donald Berwick could not possibly be confirmed even by a Democrat Senate. What to do? Easy: Obama to bypass Senate, will use recess appointment for Donald Berwick who said it's "Not Whether or Not We Will Ration Care--The Decision is Whether We Will Ration Care With Our Eyes Open". This is the Donal Berwick in question here:
Since his recess appointment, Berwick has refused to answer any questions at all. Or give interviews. Or take up the Senate's request to come and testify. Well Jason Mattera tried to ask Berwick questions since We the People pay his salary, but was met by the hand. From Human Events via memeorandum:
Exit question: if the czar positions (which by the way are unconstitutional) required Senate confirmation, how many of Obama's current flock of radicals would even be considered for the posts they now hold? More from Hot Air and Michelle Malkin

After Donald Berwick's controversial recess appointment to head the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), his allies claimed that he was preparing a "point-by-point" rebuttal to his critics. Berwick does have a lot of explaining to do, after all.
He's publically romanticized Britain's government-run healthcare and is on the record arguing that most cities should ration the "number of centers engaging" in "cardiac surgery," "neonatal intensive care" and "cancer care."
It's been three months now since his recess appointment, and still no word from the new CMS director. In fact, Berwick hasn't granted any interviews, refuses to testify before Congress, and doesn't take any questions at public events.
To put this in perspective, Donald Berwick oversees the healthcare spending for one-in-three Americans and, as the New York Times put it, "has a budget bigger than the Pentagon's."Here's the video:
