In reply to the discussion: I think Obama made a big mistake appointing Sebelius as HHS Sec instead of Dr. Dean [View all]cali
(114,904 posts)34. So Dr. Dean has made healthcare his focus for over 25 years
And his experience as a Dr. is sure as shit not irrelevant. Plus, he's an effective as hell manager- see the DNC under his watch.
And there's a lot more to the job of Sec of HHS than IT, you know that. Evidently not.
