She's Gone

She's being canned for her failure to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Oh well.

Actually single-payer/full-participation for basic health care would be an improvement. If there was an effective marketplace solution it's likely it'd look a lot like the ACA or 'Romneycare', and we'd already have it instead if it was more profitable than beneficial. SP/FP basic care could be 'dovetailed' with open-market health insurance to take in 'deluxe' coverage for elective surgery procedures and such.

And that pretty much sums up the 'Pub alternative to ACA. Brilliant.

From the link you provided: "As recently as last week, Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, rejected any suggestion that Ms. Sebelius would be fired."

Either you posted the wrong link or you are stretching the truth. I read it as she resigned after the ACA rollout, rocky as it has been. YMMV.

Let's just say that she's being allowed the dignity of resignation.

And Obama did not have her standing next to him saying they reached 7.1 million signups.

She got the boot then.
