The news of the day is certainly the leak that former Senator Tom Daschle has agreed to be both the Secretary of Health and Human Services and health reform czar for the Obama administration.

Seems to me that means President-elect Obama is very serious about getting moving on health care reform and I'm very glad to hear it.

Ezra Klein, my go to health care wonk, has more on why this is big and you should be excited.
