Politico: Sebelius Returns To Scene Of Senate 'Train Wreck' Exchange
The Obama administration's top health care official goes before the Senate on Wednesday amid growing consternation with the problematic rollout of the Obamacare enrollment website and the firestorm over cancelled health policies. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will appear before the Finance Committee for the first time since last April when Chairman Max Baucus memorably told her he worried about a "train wreck" if implementation of the health law did not get better. Since then Baucus has stood by those remarks, but stressed that he was talking about the implementation, not the Affordable Care Act itself (Haberkorn, 11/6).
