The article that was posted said the decision was UPENN's medical department. I'm not familiar with Sebelius.

i agree with some of the others, i too am no fan of sebelis, but there are rules put in place for a reason, and they have been there for years. this is one excellent reason why i want to keep government OUT of making medical decisions.
