Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced her resignation today, after serving in the Cabinet since 2009. President Obama nominated budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwel to replace her.
Sebelius as well as Obama faced intense criticism for the troubled launch of HealthCare.gov, the website used by Americans to enroll in health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Many people were frustrated in their attempts to access the website, due to programming glitches.
