Call President-elect Obama what you want, but don’t call him a slacker — or more precisely, a techie slacker.  The man who set individual fundraising records left and right throughout his campaign while making the most of the efficiency that the Web has to offer is now embracing Web 2.0 technology to gauge public opinion on matters of healthcare policy.

[G]roundwork for debating and shaping policy is mobilizing via postings on websites, internet correspondence, video clips, blogs, email alerts and calls for “health care house parties” to brainstorm new ideas.

Obama’s right hand on health care, former senator majority leader Thomas A. Daschle, seen by many to be number one choice to head up the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) when the new administration takes over from George W. Bush on 20th January, conducted a conference call with 1,000 supporters on Wednesday.

Former SD senator Tom Daschle seems just as a good choice to extend 21st century thinking into a healthcare economy that needs major policy overhauls.  He’s up to the challenge. | LINK
