Daschle Out, Sebelius In

President Barack Obama has nominated Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS) to be Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). If confirmed by the Senate, Sebelius would fill a vital Cabinet position originally slated to go to former Sen. Thomas A. Daschle, who withdrew from consideration last month. NCPA, in a congratulatory statement, said it anticipates working closely with the new Secretary to reform healthcare. Keep your fingers crossed!
