Only 12% Expect Quicker Fixes to Health Care Law with Sebelius Out

Kathleen Sebelius called it quits from her position as secretary of Health and Human Services, and most voters think she's the one who's responsible for the problems with Obamacare so far. Voters also believe she was forced to resign for political reasons, but feel less hopeful that problems with the president's signature health-care law will be fixed more quickly by her successor.

Sixty-three percent of likely U.S. voters believe Sebelius is at least somewhat responsible for the problems with the roll-out of the national health-care law, but 27 percent disagree, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Although Sebelius resigned, only 12 percent believe the problems with the health-care law will be more quickly fixed now that she's being replaced. Half of voters -- 50 percent -- say the change in leadership will not lead to quicker fixes of the new law.Thirty eight percent are not sure.

Two-out-of-three voters -- 66 percent -- agree its more likely that Sebelius is stepping down as HHS secretary because she is under political pressure to quit. Less than a quarter (20 percent) think its more likely she is quitting because she wants to.

The survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted April 11-12. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
