The Diagnosis is Not Good

Howard Zucker is a medical whiz. He's worked with America's astronauts and worked on health care problems in Afghanistan and Iraq. He's such a hotshot that Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson wants him promoted at HHS. But there's a dark secret in Zucker's past. He once gave money to the Democratic party. So the White House is looking for a more politically correct -- if not as medically talented -- person for the post. (The Hill)
