Who is Kathleen Sebelius?

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services charged with implementing the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act in 2010 Has expressed her support for a “single payer” healthcare system Kathleen Sebelius was born on May 15, 1948, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is the daughter of John Joyce Gilligan, a Democrat who served as a U.S. congressman from 1965-67 and as governor of Ohio from 1971-75.

Holding a bachelor’s degree in political science from Trinity College and an MPA from the University of Kansas, Sebelius the executive director (and leading lobbyist) of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association from 1977–86; a member of the Kansas House of Representatives from 1987-94; Kansas insurance commissioner from 1995-2003; and Kansas governor from 2003-09.

During her tenure as governor, Sebelius spent years fighting against transparency motions related to Republican state attorney general Phillip Kline's effort to determine whether the Planned Parenthood Federation of America had committed felonies by: (a) falsifying the records of patients who underwent illegal late-term abortions in Kansas, and (b) failing to report many cases of child rape. Though two Kansas district judges found probable cause of criminality in Planned Parenthood's records, Sebelius, a committed opponent of any legislative "restrictions" on women's abortion rights, launched an aggressive campaign designed to suppress that evidence and smear the attorney general…..

NOTE: Elements of the smear campaign included the following:

The state ethics board, two of whose members were Sebelius appointees, accused Kline of lying.

The left-wing state Supreme Court (appointed by Sebelius) repeatedly hindered Kline’s subpoenas and appeals.

For 20 months, the state’s disciplinary board for lawyers suppressed an internal investigative report indicating that there was absolutely no probable cause to justify any ethics complaints against Kline.

A subsequent Kansas attorney general (appointed by Sebelius) destroyed a large number of key documents that possibly could have proven the felony charges against Planned Parenthood, and thus the case had to be dropped.
