Obama submits Berwick for confirmation

WASHINGTON, July 19 (UPI) — President Obama, without fanfare, submitted Donald Berwick’s name to the U.S. Senate Monday for confirmation as the top Medicare and Medicaid administrator.
Obama had sidestepped the confirmation process two weeks ago when he appointed Berwick while the Senate was on recess for the July Fourth holiday. That bristled Senate Republicans.
Obama issued no statement with Monday’s announcement on the White House Web site that Berwick’s nomination as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had been submitted along with several others.
