The man once slated to head Barack Obama's health care system overhaul is now coming out against one of the chief components of that effort.
Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said on Wednesday that the Obama White House would likely have to scrap a public option for health insurance coverage if it wanted to get the votes needed to pass systematic change.
"We've come too far and gained too much momentum for our efforts to fail over disagreement on one single issue," the Senator and one-time HHS Secretary nominee said, according to ABC News.
Um, Tom, that issue is American lives. We've come to far to save lives? To clean up a health care system run by insurance companies? To help people actually save a heaping spoonful of their hard-earned money (if indeed, they are able to earn any)?
Who's paying Tommy off? Exactly which lobbyists have his ear?
