New HHS Office of Health Reform Started

Last week HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced her department had set up a new Office of Health Reform to spearhead efforts on health reform legislation. The new office will coordinate with the White House Office of Health Reform, headed by Nancy-Ann DeParle. Both offices were created by an April 8 Executive Order to help deliver on health care reform this year, one of President Obama's top priorities.
