Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona accuses the Bush administration of politcizing health care policy.
"Carmona said Tuesday that senior administration officials and political appointees vetted and censored his speeches, would not let him speak freely with reporters, attempted to insert political phrases and candidates' names, tried to get him to appear in uniform — Carmona was a vice admiral — at political events, and told him to follow administration policy instead of science.

Sounds like a normal diagnosis to me. Government is about politics, and politics affect government policies. Hillary Care was spawned by left-wing politics -- and rejected as such.
Just who does Carmona think he worked for?
