The former First Lady would get the chance to pilot Mr Obama’s reforms of the American healthcare system if she agrees to clear the path to his nomination as Democratic presidential candidate.

I don't have any way of knowing if this is true. I really hope it's not. Because for Obama to put Clinton forward as his healthcare maven would be to make her the poster girl for her own signature failure, and one the Rs and the big healthcare interests have already spent millions of dollars deriding to boot. And how awesomely stupid is that?
