Obama Health Team Turns to Carrying Out New Law - NYTimes.com

Obama Health Team Turns to Carrying Out New Law - NYTimes.com: "WASHINGTON — The success of the new health care law depends to a large degree on a handful of Obama administration officials, who are scrambling to make the transition from waging political war on Capitol Hill to managing one of the most profound changes in social policy in generations.

Jeanne M. Lambrew, with President Obama as he announced appointments in late 2008, is working to expand coverage.

For these officials, the task of carrying out the law may be as much of a challenge as getting it enacted.

Jay Angoff, a longtime consumer advocate and nemesis of the insurance industry, will lead efforts to regulate insurers and insurance markets.

Jeanne M. Lambrew, an idealistic veteran of the Clinton White House, is carrying out provisions of the law aimed at expanding coverage."
