Industry Notes:
Don't expect a new CMS Administrator
Published on Tue May 25, 2010
Don't expect a new CMS Administrator any time soon. Confirmation of President Obama's nominee, Dr. Donald Berwick, has been stalled by politics, according to press reports. No confirmation hearing is yet set for the controversial nominee for CMS's top spot. Republicans seem poised to use the nomination as an opportunity to review their opposition to the health care reforms enacted this year. The CMS Administrator spot has been open since October 2006.
