WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement after it was announced that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would resign:
"Kathleen Sebelius has led with dignity and determination. At all times, she put the health of the American people and the overwhelming need to reform our health care system first. She came to the position with a distinguished career in public service and she continued to impress with her hard work, talents, grace and forthrightness. When things went well she gave others credit, and when times were rocky she took full responsibility. It was my pleasure to work with her in her role as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and I am fully confident that she will continue to make a major contribution to the needs and aspirations of Americans in all walks of life. I wish her all of the best."
