Huh. This is odd. It looks like the government might be having trouble finding death panelists to staff Obamacare’s Independent Payment Advisory Board. Gee, I can’t imagine why.
Are you a nationally recognized health finance and economics expert willing to work for beans on a political lightning rod of a project? Do you enjoy being the subject of Senate confirmation hearings? If so, apply to be a death panelist today…because it doesn’t look like anyone else is. ….
It isn’t hard to see why nobody is clamoring to take a job that offers low pay and lots of regulations and will make everyone in the country hate you.
But it’s been clear from the beginning that this is the kind of thing you get with a massive, centralized health care “fix” like Obamacare: 15 unhappy people in a room making enormously important but impossible to predict decisions affecting a broad and diverse industry (not to mention the lives and health of millions).

Some underqualified lefty drone(s) will take the job. They won’t have much relevant experience but WILL have some elite credentials that the ruling class love so much.

This would really be funny if it wasn’t so “deadly” serious. Obama’s efforts to control all aspects of life in the United States is beyond Orwellian. What’s more, this excuse for a man trully believes that he knows what’s best for everyone, even if he doesn’t have enough experience to know what’s best on any subject.
The best thing that can happen would be for his Ocare system to fall on its own sword. If not, costs will go up, care will diminish, and all of his stupid followers will find out that, yes, they have health INSURANCE but no one in the health field will ACCEPT the coverage.

Exactly right. People don’t like to be held accountable for their unpopular or failed decisions and when they’re hauled in for hearings they’re going to look exponentially worse than their corporate counterparts that are so vilified. Heh.

I’ll take the job and I’ll only give lifelong health care to people who did NOT vote for Obama.

Sounds like a good plan. Just keep it to yourself for now. Wear an Obama pin when you go apply for the job and ramble on about how much you love and adore him. You’ll be a shoe-in.
