"A Great Choice"

Statement of AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee on the Nomination of Governor Kathleen Sebelius to be Secretary of Health and Human Services

“President Obama has made a great choice with Kathleen Sebelius to head the Department of Health and Human Services.  She understands health care from top to bottom.  AFSCME has worked closely with Governor Sebelius in Kansas and we know that she has the talent and commitment to lead the fight for affordable, quality health care for all.  She’s earned her reputation for working closely with both parties to get real results for people.  We look forward to working with her in the months ahead as we fight to win health care once and for all.”
