Berwick is for "patient-centered care" in the same way Obama was for "transparency." It's a meaningless slogan designed to sucker naive progressives and mouth-breathing journalists. Berwick's actual policy proposals make it clear that he has nothing but contempt for actual patients. Talk is cheap.

Put the patient at the center for everything that you do.' Very funny – you’ve just made your own out-of-context quotes, which is what the far right has been doing all the time with Berwick.
