Barack Obama made a recess appointment of David Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services today.
Below is an excerpt from a 2008 speech given to a British audience in which he made the following statement, “Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized, and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.”
UPDATE: White House responds, well not really, but here is Gibbs not answering a reporter's question about Berwick's comments.
