How about Dennis Kucinich for HHS Secretary
I would really like to have at least one real Liberal in the Administration and particularly in Health Care Aspect. Anyone else think he would be a good choice?

1. If not Kucinich, then Dean. If not Dean, then Kucinich.

3. How about Howard Dean?
He's an actual doctor.

4. I would prefer to see him in Killefers position....
Chief Performance Officer for the Federal Government. The man has balls of steel.

6. Kucinich in some role would be great. I don't know if
he has the training and experience that would be helpful in DHHS though...

I think we need a progressive who is firmly grounded in social services and health care as a practitioner and administrator. Someone with a proven track record in those areas.

7. We need someone that knows their way around Congress and can get things accomplished
They certainly do not have to be a doctor. They need to be a caring human being that puts people first. This is a Liberal Position and I only hope a Liberal gets to fill it. Human Services is way more than just Health Care.

10. Kucinich and Marcy Kaptor..you'd see some results....
..I'm just too far to the left. I'm a Progressive. I have this fantasy about elected officials representing working people.... I know.. it's silly.
