Kathleen Sebelius is out as chief implementer of Obamacare. Streiff at Red State sums up her thinking: “I've done all the damage I can do here, it is time to move on.”

The Wall Street Journal correctly points out that it’s simply that her utility to the administration was exhausted:

“She's going now because the White House is claiming victory from 7.5 million sign-ups and there is a political window before premiums rise during the next ObamaCare sign-up period and before the fall elections. As a symbol of ObamaCare, which continues to be unpopular in most of the country, Ms. Sebelius is now a liability as an election spokesman even in Democratic precincts.”

Liability indeed: When even administration mouthpieces like the New York Times refers to her work as “disastrous” and her record includes admitted violations of federal laws, Sebelius was not going to help win over voters.

But Sebelius was never the chief problem with Obamacare. The disastrous rollout wasn’t, either. Websites eventually get fixed, though it is incredible that the administration is taking so long to do so.

The problem with Obamacare is the law itself. It raises the cost of health coverage by pointless mandates, forced overcharging, clueless economics and the crushing of consumer freedom. This stinking heap of a law that already has cost millions of people their coverage and access to their doctors will have a new administrator -- presiding over the same unworkable mess.
