This guy is also so anti-physician it's absurd.

He wanted to avoid further negative backlash from his health care program. One of the deals Obama struck with the AMA was that the Medicare reductions would be delayed if the AMA backed the plan. They stupidly backed the plan and now have no deal. Plus they have a Quality Care reviewer type, with no real medical practice, at the head of his Medicare program.

And now he gets him appointed for a year without opposition during the election year. It was scheduled to avoid scrutiny.
