In [this Cato podcast](https://www.cato.org/multimedia/daily-podcast/does-hhs-secretary-sebelius-understand-insurance), *The Daily Beast*’s [Megan McArdle](http://www.thedailybeast.com/voxbox/asymmetrical-information.html) discusses her recent post, “[Health and Human Services Secretary Doesn’t Understand What Insurance Is](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/27/health-and-human-services-secretary-doesn-t-understand-what-insurance-is.html).”

One might note that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is also a former insurance commissioner.
