Berwick: Let's Spread the Wealth Around!

The Obama administration's nominee for health Czar, Donald Berwick, sounds a lot like candidate Barack Obama when he met Joe the Plumber.

Berwick sees health care as a tool of redistribution. The Wall Street Journal notes,

Among Donald Berwick's greatest rhetorical hits is this one: ‘any health-care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must—must—redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and less fortunate.’

At least the guy is candid. That candor, however, is exactly why the Obama administration slipped him in as a recess appointee; they were scared of the hearings.

At least the administration is transparent about its cowardice.
