I wonder if Kathleen Sebelius has considered that she won’t always be the head of Health and Human Services, and that a Republican President could put a Republican in place who will have the same unfettered power to change everything up. Anyhow, she pens an op-ed for the Politico, telling us why the legislation that […]
