Modern Healthcare quoted Manatt's Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health, on the legacy that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will leave behind.
Modern Healthcare reports that President Obama recently announced the resignation of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and announced her successor, Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
Ario pointed to Sebelius' close work with insurance companies and state governments as a crucial legacy that she'll leave behind.
"She was a very effective secretary with the constituencies that were most important here," Ario said. "I think a lot of the things that she wasn't able to do is a problem with our politics, which it's hardly fair to blame her for."
