Sebelius Offers Perspective on Obama Plan


 

WASHINGTON – President Obama will not back away from the belief that a government-funded health plan must be part of a health reform plan, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified during her first formal appearance before the House Ways and Means Committe. “His charge to me is to work closely with [congressional] committees as proposals are being developed,” she said. Ms. Sebelius, former governor of Kansas, has been applauded for her bipartisan approach to governing.
