- <p>Hillary Rodham Clinton gets a tough role--leading health-care
- reform
- </p>
- <p> "I want it done--now," Bill Clinton told his health-care task
- force. To prove it, he gave them a new boss: Hillary Rodham
- Clinton (as she now wishes to be called). It is by far the most
- powerful job ever held by a First Lady: Mrs. Clinton will have
- six Cabinet officers reporting to her. It is also a tough
- assignment. Hillary's husband has given the task force only 100
- days to produce a program that extends coverage to everybody yet
- reduces costs--which under present policy are expected to more
- than double in the next six years. Should the President's wife
- be involved in developing major policies? Respondents to a Wall
- Street Journal/NBC News poll split about evenly: 47% yes, 45%
- no.
