Sebelius pointed out in the CNN interview that the task force was appointed by the Bush administration

The quote that you Mylife quoted in comment 68 IS, indeed, in the article.

however, the quote ABOVE, in italics...is ALSO in the article. This is confusing to me, silly me.

Now is the WAPO wrong stating that the panel was appointed by Sebelius, or is my quote, COPIED FROM THE SAME ARTICLE, ali?

Seems to me somebody's obfuscating here and we're all arguing about confusing issues that are...eh, confusing.

I did, however, miss, that first thing, I apologize MYLIFe, but again, all I did was ask where he saw it. Which you kindly provided in comment 68. But again, my quote above is ALSO from the article. Can anybody explain that?

It said the panel was appointed by her department, meaning HHS, but it must have been the Bush HHS, in other words her *department* before it was *her* department, capishe? I know, it IS confusing writing!

I’m not sure how much I am able to believe her disclaimer, but it wasn’t my intent to claim she had made any appointments. My emphasis was that this decision emanated from a group assembled by her department. That’s all.

Did she give a directive to the effect, let’s see what we can do to reduce the costs of testing? I don’t know. I do believe these folks are trying to implement cost cutting to make it look like this sort of thing is what the public could expect from government run health care.

“See, look, you can expect to see your health care insurance costs go down now...” I don’t believe that to be the case at all.

Thanks for the response. Take care.
