Thomas Daschle: “First, I respond by saying I was not aware that $2 million had been spent on the Pillsbury investigation----”

I think we need to change the paradigm in this country on health.

One is defining our issues as clearly as we can. And before we can ever get to the solutions of healthcare, we have to make sure that we are all on the same page with regard to the problems of healthcare.

We try to work together, when possible, to write legislation that focuses on what we can agree on--not what divides us.

I commend President-elect Obama for selecting such an extraordinary nominee to lead the Nation's healthcare agenda.
