"On January 16, 2006, George W. Bush declared McClellan's Medicare program to be "botched" and in a state of crisis."

Not sure this is true. Harry Reid, and many others, used the word 'botched' to describe the Medicare program- but I would be surprised if Bush himself did. And I find no record of it in google news...;

[edit] 'Botched'

Of course, the President said no such thing.

[edit] Plan B section

I've added a section on Dr. McClellan's role in the Plan B controversy, with quotes from sworn statements by both FDA staff and Dr. McClellan. This is one of the 2 most important and controversial things to happen during his tenure (the other being the Medicare prescription plan, which should probably be added as well), so it seemed to warrant inclusion.
