Obama taps Daschle to lead health care reform - The Colorado Independent
It's official. On Thursday, President-elect Barack Obama announced that former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who kicked off the new administration's drive for health care reform at an appearance in Denver last week, will be his nominee as secretary of health and human services. Calling Daschle "one of America's foremost health care experts," Obama said he was confident the former Senate majority leader had the chops to "bridge partisan divides" to enact widespread health care reform and implement the changes once the legislation has passed.
