Kaiser Health News editors and reporters talked Monday with former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle about health reform's current dynamics, strategies, key issues and chances of passage. Daschle was nominated by President Barack Obama to be secretary of Health and Human Services and the White House's point person on health reform. Although he withdrew his name after reports that he had not paid some taxes, the South Dakota Democrat remains a close adviser to the president and continues to work for a health care overhaul (3/2).
