Reply #12: She used to be the state Insurance Commissoner [View All]

She has dealt with the insurance companies and fraud, probably more so than Dean has. I also suspect that Obama thinks she can work better with Congress in getting Universal Health Care passed than can Dean. Whether that is really the case or not, I couldn't say. Personally, I think Dr. Dean would make a better Surgeon General. IIRC, that position still has not been filled, despite the Sanjay Gupta hoopla.
