A job opening for an internist
It's clear that many of our blog's readers and at least one contributor are concerned about the way Medicare is being run. So maybe it will come as good news that the top slot at the agency is available, as the New York Times reported today. Did you know that there hasn't been a Senate-confirmed administrator at CMS since 2006? Time to brush off the old resume and show them how it ought to be done.

That job would only be appealing if you had the power to act like a CEO and effect change. I believe most of the policies of CMS are driven by legislation and congress. The politics are what make it unappealing. Bureaucracy is not a fun or rewarding career choice.
