Donald Berwick's Rationed Transparency

Dr. Donald Berwick is back in the public eye. The former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced he will run for governor in Massachusetts.

Berwick first entered the public spotlight in April 2010, when President Obama nominated him for the CMS post. But Berwick never went through the regular confirmation process. Instead, the president granted him a surprise recess appointment that July.

The president renominated him in January 2011, but it became apparent that he could not garner enough votes for Senate confirmation. That December, Berwick resigned. Now, he is pursuing office as an elected, rather than an appointed, official.
Berwick’s short tenure at CMS was defined by a series of controversial statements he made before his appointment. He defended both Britain’s National Health Service and government rationing of health care. Most famously, in a June 2009 interview, he stated that “the decision is not whether or not we will ration care — the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.”

After leaving CMS, Berwick said his comments were merely an attempt to argue for greater transparency in decision-making. “Someone, like your health-insurance company, is going to limit what you can get. That’s the way it’s set up,” he told the New York Times. “The government, unlike many private health-insurance plans, is working in the daylight,” he insisted. “That’s a strength.”

Unfortunately, Berwick himself, while head of CMS, went to great lengths to avoid transparency. He ducked reporters, in one instance even “exit[ing] behind a stage” to avoid press queries. Another time he went so far as to request a “security escort” to avoid questions.

Today, Berwick concedes his lack of transparency. According to a Politico report, he now “regrets listening to White House orders to avoid reaching out to congressional Republicans.”

The lack of transparency is endemic in the Obama administration. Case in point: the enactment of Obamacare. During his 2008 campaign, Barack Obama promised health-care negotiations televised on C-SPAN. Instead, we got a series of notorious backroom deals: the Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, the Gator Aid.

“It’s an ugly process, and it looks like there are a bunch of backroom deals,” Obama feebly admitted in January 2010 — only to retreat again to the smoke-filled rooms two months later, where he cut the final deals to ram the legislation through Congress.

As usual, special interests had their day — both before and after Obamacare’s passage. While Berwick wouldn’t talk to reporters, he gladly met with insurance-industry executives, even if it meant ignoring journalists in the process. Likewise, the administrator who wouldn’t speak to Republican lawmakers happily addressed a closed-door meeting of “industry stakeholders” in December 2010. The Hill noted: “The meeting comes as a number of lobbyists say they’ve noticed more White House outreach toward K Street.”

So government transparency is possible — provided you’re a high-priced K Street lobbyist.

Obamacare is premised on the belief that government knows best. And those who share that belief all too often regard transparency and public accountability as inconveniences.

Consider the administration’s approach to regulating the proposed health-insurance “exchanges.” Obamacare requires state-based exchanges to “hold public meetings and input sessions,” but it fails to apply these same transparency standards to the federally run exchanges Washington will create in 33 states. The result: Many key questions remain unanswered.

Thus a law written in secret is being implemented in secret, with a maximum of opacity and a minimum of accountability from the administration.

Berwick claimed that open government would eliminate public worries about government rationing of health care. But Obamacare was born in darkness, and those implementing it are assuredly not “working in the daylight.” Americans have every reason to be concerned.

— Chris Jacobs is a senior policy analyst in the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Health Policy Studies.

Terry Hurlbut, an administrator at Conservapedia, challenges Richard Lenski to a creation vs. evolution debate lasting two hours in oral debate format. The debate topic will be "Did amoeba to man evolution occur?"

The two hour long debate, which will include an audience question and answer period as part of the two hours, will be recorded and be posted to the internet and be public domain so the public can freely share it. A mutually agreed-upon internet news organization or radio talk show host will moderate the debate.

Eugenie Scott and Andrew Schlafly had a public exchange which was hosted by a news organization. Is Richard Lenski willing to debate a creationist Conservapedian as well?

We want the debate to be a 2 hours in length including the audience question and answer period so that both parties have plenty of time to make their case and plenty of time to be cross-examined as well.
