It’s an interesting question. Do we have to add to the misery and problems of one economy to stimulate the other? With regard to financing healthcare, who is the scapegoat? If you guessed the (lowly) business owner/employer, you’d be right on. (The guy or gal caught in the middle would probably do all that he/she could to keep the government from telling him or her whom he should and shouldn’t worry about supporting healthcare coverage with taxpayer dollars.) Enter Tom Daschle. The former US Senator from SD is being lauded as one of Obama’s most seasoned picks for the cabinet position of HHS Secretary, and he plans on hitting the ground running. Armed with the lessons learned from the HillaryCare debacle, Daschle is operating on a bet that the average healthcare consumer really does care how his/her healthcare dollars are spent; and he’ll everything he can to maximize John & Jane Doe’s influence while strongly scrutinizing Uncle Sam’s role in it. | LINK
