10 Republicans Who Trolled Kathleen Sebelius on Twitter
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has become the face of the rocky Obamacare rollout.
So when news of her upcoming resignation broke, Republican politicians, still actively trying to repeal the law Sebelius heralded, unleashed a slew of mocking tweets.
I thank Secretary Sebelius for her service. She had an impossible task: nobody can make Obamacare work.

Sebelius may be gone, but tomorrow you'll still wake up with higher health premiums than the plan you weren't able to keep.
