Tom Daschle:Tom Daschle Health Care,Obama HHS

Tom Daschle:Tom Daschle Health Care,Obama HHSTom Daschle will apparently be Barack Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.Tom Daschle who was the Former Senate Majority Leader will most likely use his experience and knowledge of the Senate to get the health reform bill pass.According to the American Prospect:

You don’t tap the former Senate Majority Leader to run your health care bureaucracy. That’s not his skill set. You tap him to get your health care plan through Congress. You tap him because he understands the parliamentary tricks and has a deep knowledge of the ideologies and incentives of the relevant players. You tap him because you understand that health care reform runs through the Senate. And he accepts because he has been assured that you mean to attempt health care reform.
Compare the choice of Daschle to Clinton’s decision to task Hillary Clinton and Ira Magaziner with health care reform. Neither Clinton nor Magaziner had any relevant experience in Washington, either with the health care bureaucracy or with the legislative branch. [...] The choice of Daschle suggests that the Obama team has learned those lessons well.

That’s all we have for now on Tom Daschle:Tom Daschle Health Care,Obama HHS.
