As the worst HHS secretary ever.

Via Politico:

President Barack Obama used a Friday ceremony announcing his new nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services as a chance to celebrate the Affordable Care Act, even though it came with an action widely seen as a long time coming — the departure of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Obama, Sebelius and intended nominee Sylvia Mathews Burwell drew several standing ovations in the Rose Garden as they praised the work that led at least 7.5 million Americans to enroll in health insurance through exchanges, and millions more to gain coverage through Medicaid and other programs .

But, like the law itself, the event was briefly derailed by a “glitch” that set tongues wagging as emblematic of the administration’s struggles with HealthCare.gov, as Sebelius acknowledged that a page of her prepared remarks had gone missing.

Still, tulips blooming around the periphery of the garden, it was an upbeat scene, as Obama talked up the enrollment numbers and thanked Sebelius for her role in making the new law work.
