Berwick To Become First Medicare Head To Enroll In Medicare | Medicare chief Donald Berwick turns 65 tomorrow and will become “the first head of the federal health insurance program for the elderly and disabled to be a beneficiary at the same time,” Kaiser Health News’ Phil Galewitz reports. “I look forward to it,” he said of joining Medicare. “I am lucky, I am employed and love my work and have no plans to retire. I see myself working for a long time, but it’s good to know Medicare is there. It’s security and it feels safe.”
