We have a superbly competent, decent man working to make health care better and more affordable . . . and we fire him. Watch Don Berwick’s interview on ‘UP with Chris Hayes’ and you’ll have a better sense of why (a) the Affordable Health Care Act is a good one; (b) how immensely dysfunctional is the opposition – that filibusters its own proposed bipartisan deficit reduction committee (once the President signs on); that manufactures the debt-ceiling crisis; and that now fires the best man for a job we urgently need done. Why are we doing this to ourselves?
