It is deeply disappointing, though not surprising, that Dr. Berwick's nomination was thoughtlessly stonewalled by certain members of Congress.
Dr. Berwick has been an excellent leader of CMS through challenging times. I hope that the residents of states served by the "stonewalling senators" remember at the next election whose interests their senator chose to protect—for most of them, it will not have been their interests.
