Sebelius confirmed… lots of work for her to do

Amidst the Arlen Specter move to the Democratic party and more cases of swine flu, the confirmation of Kathleen Sebelius as HHS secretary got a little lost. But the spreading flu makes her post even more important. I’m not going to look back at some of the HHS chief disasters in the past, but feel free to think of them if you like. Sebelius is smart, practical and capable. Here’s hoping everything goes well.

And as someone with a chronic disease and health insurance I really can’t afford, I’d like her to get the hell to work ASAP on doing something about healthcare in this country.
