It’s only 8:30 in the morning and I haven’t gotten much passed the front page of the newspaper, but I don’t think I can find another quote as absurd as this if I read all day:
“I was also aware there were discussions between [legislative] staff and the actuary that I wasn’t aware of or apprised of.”
–White House senior health policy adviser Doug Badger, who is suspected by Medicare’s chief actuary of being behind the threats to fire him if he provided cost information to Congress.
