Tom Daschle, the former Senate Majority Leader who later became a health care lobbyist,<ref>http://www.bhpioneer.com/articles/2008/12/02/opinion/doc49356b800d2d4411203208.txt</ref> as did his wife, set forth his plan in a book entitled "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis." Columnist Tony Blankley described Daschle's plan as follows:<ref name="Daschle">http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200881201056</ref>

:He proposes setting up a board to establish standards for health care delivery in the United States that would be modeled on how the Federal Reserve Board and Securities and Exchange Commission oversee banks and corporations. Technically, it only would oversee the public health systems (Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Health Administration, etc.), which provide about 32 percent of health care nationwide.

Under Daschle's plan, "political hacks appointed to the Health board will decide whether your cardiologist is allowed to image your arteries and, if they find blockage, try to treat it successfully."<ref name="Daschle"/>

+

In his book, Daschle proposes leaving the details ''out'' of the legislation, as he considered the details to have been the fatal defect in the Clinton approach of 1993-1994. Instead, Daschle seeks to delegate the details to an administrative agency. With Daschle as Secretary of [[HHS]], he may seek delegation of authority to HHS to write regulations containing the important details.
