Obama’s HHS Sec’y choice Kathleen Sebelius on publicly funded healthcare:

“If the question is do I support a public option side-by-side with private insurers,” Sebelius said, “yes I do.” [...] She faced questions on the issue as she testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Sebelius said she didn’t support fully government-run health care. [...] An exchange with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., over the Obama proposal was perhaps the most heated in a low-key 2 1/2-hour hearing. Sebelius pledged that if confirmed, “health reform would be my mission.” [...] “Inaction is not an option. The status quo is unacceptable, and unsustainable,” said Sebelius, citing high health care costs that she said were hurting families and crippling the economy.
