Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius Well I do not know a thing about her. But it could be an excellent choice. Anyone know how many women vs men are sitting on the fence? Anyone know her views on abortion? In fact anyone know anything at all about here? One final question, is it good that few if any prople know anything about her? Hmm here is some stuff: Named one of the "100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare" Modern Healthcare Magazine Elected, President, National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 2001 ksgovernor.com During her tenure, her Department's operating costs decreased by nineteen percent, even as the overall Kansas state budget increased by nearly thirty percent. Today, Sebelius and the Kansas Insurance Department oversee a $10 billion marketplace of insurance products and services. And Sebelius has worked with the industry to create a healthy and competitive business climate for insurance in the state - leveling the playing field, clearing out burdensome and unnecessary regulations, and lowering industry taxes. Above all, Sebelius organized the Department around one overriding principle: serve and protect the people first. She's been a successful advocate for Kansans refused medical treatment by their HMOs. Her office runs a nationally recognized volunteer effort that provides information and counseling to help senior citizens lower their prescription drug costs - leading 6,000 older Kansans to save nearly $2 million on medicine in 2001 alone. And she's stood up for business owners large and small, protecting them from unfair treatment by insurance providers. Under Sebelius' leadership, today the Kansas Department of Insurance serves more people, with more information, more choices, and more openness than ever before. In each of her campaigns for Insurance Commissioner, Sebelius kept her pledge not to accept campaign contributions from insurance companies - to keep her free from conflicts of interest or even the appearance of favoritism. She renews that commitment in her race for Governor. here is her bio ksgovernor.org ======================================================================= All in all this looks like a decent choice.
