Medicare Director Won't ID Donors To Think Tank
I am back blogging now after a few weeks off due to a computer virus and working on a big project. Dr. Donald Berwick is a great candidate for my first "post virus" blog post. Maybe he is within his rights not disclosing these particular donors but it is hard to tell since he wasn't scrutinized through the Congressional hearing process. Anyway it always looks bad when people in public office don't disclose funding sources because such sources sometimes say more about them and their organizations than words ever could.

Medicare Sausage?
Sausage is a good word to describe what is happening in the Senate right now with the health care debates. Click on the title to read about how expanding Medicare could push us closer to a single payer government controlled plan. Making sausage is a messy sometimes disgusting process and it is a good analogy for the messy debates, closed door meetings, arm twisting, bribery, dirty tricks, etc that is happening now. The thing about sausage is that it usually tastes good even with mysterious ingredients and a messy process. Medicare sausage will not taste good at all.
