Kansas Governor Picked as Secretary of HHS

Posted by Joe Arite on March 2nd, 2009

President Obama appointed Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D) as his nominee to be Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

If Sebelius is confirmed by the Senate, it will fill the void left by former Senator Tom Daschle’s departure. Daschle withdrew his name after controversy over unpaid taxes.

Along with Sebelius, Obama chose Nancy Ann DeParle as the Administration’s pick to lead the President’s plan to reform the American Health Care System.
