President-elect Barack Obama

Discuss Healthcare

by Lee Stranahan

In case you missed it, there's a new section on Barack Obama's change.gov site where you can discuss health care. Plenty of good, smart comments there already.

And The Plank has this nugget in a piece about the newly named Health Care team...

The team is heavy on people who know a thing or two about moving plans through Congress. Take Aronson. Her most recent job was in Rahm Emanuel's office. There, she advised him on floor strategy; she also was a liason to other members and outside stakeholders. Before that, she worked for Chris Jennings, a former Clinton staffer who is one of the best known health care advisers in town. So, like Daschle's appointment, the naming of this team suggests that Obama is serious about pursuing health care reform.

The whole thing makes me sort of giddy, really.
