• Costly Care the Issue: President Pitches Health Plan. Our View: Tell Us More About Cost Controls.

This week he addressed the American Medical Association, whose support, or at least neutrality, could be key. The president told doctors he was sympathetic to one of their key goals - protection from medical-malpractice lawsuits. He said he was opposed to capping awards - trial lawyers are a key Democratic constituency - but was open to protecting doctors who treat patients within "evidence-based guidelines" from lawsuits.

• New Cms Pick No Better Than Berwick, Doctors Say

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Donald Berwick, M.D., Obama's recess appointee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has resigned rather than face a Senate confirmation hearing.
