I can't say for sure. I haven't seen anything about this guy pop up in my healthcare news summary that I get emailed every day, so I don't think it is really a huge deal inside the industry, but that doesn't mean that it isn't something that Republicans would be up in arms over. The guy is head of the Institute for Health Care Improvement, which is a group I know of and is known for pushing for quality metrics in health care. I'm guessing that the Obama administration didn't want a return to the Death Panels rhetoric of last year when phrases like "evidence-based medicine" are used. Don't blame them, personally, we had to wade through that crap last year and I don't think it needs to be dug up again.
