WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. secretary of health and human services says the predictions of doom after healthcare reform was passed were unfounded.
"Instead of the economy crashing, we've had steady job growth, with healthcare leading the way. Instead of Medicare crumbling, seniors have seen their premiums fall even as they enjoy key new benefits," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a speech in Washington.
