Roll Call reports that Former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) “has been offered the job of Health and Human Services secretary by President-elect Barack Obama and has accepted the job.” Daschle is also set to take on the position of “health care czar” in the Obama White House. CNN’s Ed Henry is also reporting he negotiated the “health care czar” position in order to be “the point person on all White House health-related issues.”I'm not sure who ever has this role in the Bush Administration, but I'm sure glad it's not some religious fanatic who had to pass the strict Right Wing agenda test.
