Conservative attempt to block Sebelius as HHS Secretary could delay confirmation vote

By Healthcare Finance Staff

Ten conservative leaders have called on the Senate to oppose the nomination of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services Secretary, calling her "unfit" for the role because of her "extreme" pro-abortion record and her lack of integrity during the nomination process.

The Washington Post reported today that Republican opposition to "immediate Senate action" is likely to push a final vote on Sebelius, expected to occur this week, until next week.
