    There should have been outrage across the board on Berwick… not after he’s been in there a year building the treacherous footings of Obamacare, but up front when it mattered.

    Dr. Berwick is the nation’s leading expert on healthcare QUALITY IMPROVEMENT. The stand against him as a proxy for the battle against “Obamacare” is the wrong one to take – he is the founder of the quality movement in medicine and a hero to multiple generations of doctors (at least the ones interested in not killing 100,000 people a year). The battle against Berwick is a battle against quality improvement in healthcare, which I think is a difficult position to maintain for the GOP senators.
