New Management at HHS


Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced her resignation yesterday, after five years in that position.   The recent boom in health insurance enrollments under the Affordable Care Act, now numbering 7.5 million, means that Sebelius can leave on a decidedly positive note, after the bungled roll-out last October threatened the law's implementation. President Obama intends to nominate the current Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, to replace Sebelius.  In many ways, it's a thankless job, as Secretary Sebelius can attest, and we wish Ms. Burwell well.
