Daschle's Return

In the surest sign yet that Barack Obama is serious about plans to forge a government takeover of America's health-care system, he has tapped former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Daschle, among other things, has called for a Federal Health Board to manage our nation's health care system just like the Federal Reserve Board manages the banking system. I suppose, like the Federal Reserve, the Federal Health Board will mess up the health-care system so that liberals can blame the private market and call for yet more government intervention.
