Berwick nominated to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

The idea of nominating Harvard Medical School professor Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services first came up a few weeks ago, but now it's official: President Obama nominated Berwick yesterday. I've been a bit of a fan since I first saw his "Escape Fire" video several years ago:

He still has to be confirmed by the Senate, which may be no easy feat. I personally don't see why Berwick, who heads the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, couldn't do the job pretty darn well.
