More on Obama's man to run Medicare

Yes, it's as bad as it can get. And if you think you're safe because you're in a union health care plan, forget it. Your time's coming. Medicare has already taken over some of those plans. Pension plans all over this country are broke, just as the salary demands of union workers soar. This is from Obama's cousin, who is a doctor. 

[Berwick] particularly loves how the Brits purposefully under supply their patients' health care needs:

You cap your health care budget, and you make the political and economic choices you need to make to keep affordability within reach. You plan the supply; you aim a bit low; you prefer slightly too little of a technology or a service to too much; then you search for care bottlenecks and try to relieve them.

...Really? He loves it? Let's take a closer look at Great Britain and the results of their purposeful under supplying of their patients' needs.. Here's whatI wrote in The Washington Times:

Britain's higher cancer mortality rate results in 25,000 more cancer deaths per year compared to a similar population size in the United States. But because the U.S. population is roughly five times larger than the United Kingdom's, that would translate into 125,000 unnecessary American cancer deaths every year. This is more than all the mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, cousins and children in Topeka, Kan. And keep in mind, these numbers are for cancer alone. America also has better survival rates for other major killers, such as heart attacks and strokes.

And Berwick simply loves it. By “it” I presume he means the economic redistribution rather than the unnecessary deaths but that is not entirely clear.
