Today, President-Elect Obama officially announced in a press conference that he has chosen former Senator Tom Daschle to serve as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and also named him the Director of a new White House Office on Health Care Reform. 

This new White House office is expected to coordinate efforts with an Obama Administration and Congress to pass health care reform.  In making the announcement, President-Elect Obama described former Senator Daschle as "one of America's foremost health care experts" and reported that he would be the "lead architect" of any health care reform plan.
