“As he attempts to overhaul the country’s health care system, President Barack Obama announced Monday that he’s chosen Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to serve as his health and human services secretary and Nancy-Ann DeParle to run the White House Office for Health Reform.

Obama introduced the two on Monday afternoon in the White House East Room, just days before he holds a White House summit on health care. Lawmakers from both parties and representatives of major interest groups, from insurers to drug companies to consumers, will attend.”
