A new report from HHS shows that while the Bush administration didn’t actually break any laws, it did conceal the actual cost of Medicare. The ethics of the administration continue to come under heavy fire by Democrats who charge that threatening to fire Richard Foster was against the law.
“Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said Tuesday: "The IG's report describes the extraordinary deception of Bush administration officials to cover up the true costs of the Medicare bill. What they did was clearly wrong by any definition."
"We hope that with the release of this report we can put behind us the political squabbling and move on to the important work of implementing the new law," HHS spokesman Bill Pierce said.”
