Just hours after a post on the World's Most Dangerous Political Blog (TM) criticized the Obama administration for nominating people who have been sloppy with their taxes, Sen. Tom Daschle bows out as nominee for HHS secretary.
Coincidence??
More seriously, this somewhat shocking development (who knew this Obama crowd was going to take the whole accountability thing to heart??) has to raise the question of whether we're going to see real health care reform this year, or any.
I do think big changes in our health care system are almost inevitable. But I've been thinking that for years. And the big changes may simply be that it just gets worse and worse.
Obama had found a guy with tons of Senate experience, probably unparalleled pull with other Senators, and he was one of the most knowledge people in the US about health care, to boot. You don't find guys like that every day. Who's going to fill those shoes?
Can Hillary do State and HHS?
Ok, breathe, people, I'm just kidding.
