Kansas Governor to head Department of Health and Human Services.
If and when this appointment is confirmed by the Senate, it will be very interesting to see how the Obama Administration will reform health care. On a side note, Obama also nominated Nancy-Ann DePearle as health care czar, an interesting addition to this administration, that we touched on last week in class. Sebelius has extensive in this field, while govenor of Kansas she was in charge of Kansas' Medicaid program and actually worked as an insurance commisioner. I am very excited to see how much and how far we can reform the health care policies in this country, for being one of the most affluent countries in the world, we have some of the most difficult standards in order to access health care.
