Sebelius Hearings Begin This Week

According to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, ranking member of the
Senate Finance Committee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, President
Obama’s HHS Secretary-nominee, could receive confirmation approval
from the Senate Finance Committee this week. Sebelius is scheduled
to undergo a “courtesy hearing” before the Senate Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee tomorrow. The
Finance Committee, which will ultimately vote on her nomination,
will hear Sebelius testify on Thursday. Her confirmation is
reportedly expected to move smoothly through the Senate.
