A potential Obama cabinet projected in June on the Daily Kos Web site slotted Sebelius in at secretary of Health and Human Services.
It's not a bad guess, said Mel Kahn, a professor of political science at Wichita State University.
Health care reform is expected to be a key goal of the Obama administration and Sebelius has strong credentials in that area, he said.
Kahn said that in her previous role as Kansas insurance commissioner, Sebelius established herself as someone who could stand up to powerful insurance interests.
She blocked a planned merger between the for-profit Anthem Insurance Co. of Indiana and the member-owned Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. Sebelius also has fought for universal health coverage for children, a prime goal of Obama's health plan.http://www.kansas.com/topstories/story/587426.html
