Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is the president's choice for secretary of Health and Human Services. As governor of Kansas and a Washington outsider, she meets a stiff challenge to steer health reform in agencies such as the FDA, or the National Institutes of Health, both of which await nominations. Sebelius is known for her bi-partisan work as a Democrat in a Republican state, for her strong positions on universal health insurance, including an early spokesperson for children, and for taking tough stands against the insurance industry. She is likely to find tough questioning about her liberal positions on abortion which stirred controversy in the Catholic church in which she was raised.
