I have my own personal reservations, but not because of what the GOP has going on here, but rather related to the understanding of Business Intelligence and the levels this position will require and having some IT knowledge rather than just the old political stuff is needed in a position that is around 70% focused in this area.  To get better healthcare, we need someone in the know in this area and not just another person who has risk management as a background, as that is what tearing up healthcare, but there are some that dont seem to get the picture on this yet.
