Sebelius in Chicago to talk health care reform

Posted March 16, 2010 at 7:45 a.m.

By Bruce Japsen | U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will push health and insurance reforms in Chicago this afternoon before speaking to more than 3,000 attendees at the National Council on Aging’s Aging in America conference.
 
The Obama administration and Democratic leaders in Congress are making final pushes this week across the country to build public support for health care legislation that could see a historic vote in the U.S. House of Representatives by the end of the week. 


The legislation would provide health insurance to tens of millions who
currently have none and would ban insurance companies from denying
coverage for pre-existing conditions. It would require most people to
obtain insurance and would subsidize premiums for poor and middle-income
Americans.

Sebelius speaks at a conference that’s expected to draw more than 3,000
attendees. The conference runs through Friday.

    Kathleen Sibelius can take her socialist health agenda – pack up and go back to the swamp in DC!!!!(Ironic she has the same last name as the great Finnish composer who made such beautiful music – something she is incapable of doing!!!)
