Gilligan also says: “Plus, I don’t think they [in the White House] hold her responsible.” It seems to us that’s right. We have no use for Sebelius, but it seems to us wrong to make her a scapegoat for ObamaCare’s failure. A better manager might have managed to get a website working, but no one could really make ObamaCare work, for its flaw is in its basic design.

There are people who deserve to lose their jobs for ObamaCare, and some of them have. In 2010 three senators and numerous representatives were ousted by voters after having voted in favor of the legislation. The following year Rep. Nancy Pelosi lost her job as House speaker. Over at the Internal Revenue Service, Lois Lerner recently “retired” after her role in the agency’s politicization came to light.

Unfortunately, thanks in part to her, the man who most deserved to be fired over ObamaCare, Obama himself, instead had his tenure extended by four years. Had the president been ousted, Sebelius would have been as well. But because we are stuck with Obama, we are stuck with ObamaCare. As for who is secretary of HHS, what difference, at this point, does it make?
