Dean for Surgeon General?
Or head of Health and Human Services?

He implemented health insurance for nearly everyone in Vermont. He could do it for the whole country.

I'd love to keep Dean at the national level. I don't want him to politely fade into the woodwork like Gore did.

Who IS the Surgeon General nowadays? Why don't we ever hear from him. I remember hearing from C. Everett Koop a lot.

Guess they don't want to remind the serfs about their health anymore.

1. Seems like
Surgeon General would be a waste of him. Largely a ceremonial post, isn't it? HHS might be good, but it'd be nice to see him in something pretty visible.

Let's win the Whitehouse back first.

Maybe his wife instead? ;-)
