There is a role for former Sen. Tom Daschle in Obama’s worldview after all, and by the looks of things, it’s very corporate-friendly. Since withdrawing his name from a previously all but certain ascension to HHS secretary because of tax lapses, he’s been a busy guy. Between founding a healthcare policy think tank and holding private meetings with members of Congress on issues of healthcare reform, he’s also found time to become a member of General Electric’s new initiative to reduce medical costs. According to Senate lobbying disclosures, he also works for a law firm which lobbies on behalf of more than a dozen healthcare organizations. | LINK
