"I feel the ACA is a massive step forward--a tremendous achievement. But we are still left with a system that fails to solve many problems," said Berwick. "Even with the law, we still have a complex system that is highly expensive to maintain and somewhat captive to the status quo. It lacks teeth to push back on costs."
The ACA's limitations compelled him to run for governor of Massachusetts in 2014 on a campaign fueled by his staunch advocacy of single-payer health care. "On his first day as governor of Massachusetts, Berwick promises to set up a commission tasked with finding a way to bring single payer to the Bay State," reported Talking Points Memo, describing him as "ObamaCare's Founding CEO."
