President Barack Obama will nominate the head of a doctors group that promotes his signature healthcare law to be the next U.S. surgeon general, the White House said on Thursday, shortly after Obama proposed a "fix" for the latest problem with the law.
Vivek Hallegere Murthy, president of Doctors for America, will succeed Rear Admiral Boris Lushniak, who has been acting as the surgeon general since July, overseeing public health endeavors around the country, after Regina Benjamin completed her four-year term.

Also, this guy 'Murky' and the other people who run it are, to a great extent, representatives of those people who left their native countries because their culture has screwed them up so bad they are unlivable, and are now trying to screw up ours.
Will General Murthy wear the uniform like lovely Ms Elder?
Another “yes-man.”
