Kathleen Sebelius is gone.

Or, as one of our readers (predictably) put it: “Ding Dong thewitch is dead, the witch is dead; the witch is dead!”

But it changes nothing. It fixes nothing. Enrollment's over. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act isn't going anywhere.And midterms are still months away.

Republicans, of course, will claim victory, now that thearchitect of the disastrous HealthCare.gov rollout has been shownthe door. And that her failures have finally caught up to her. Sheleaves Washington disgraced.

And even that bellwether of liberal thought—The New YorkTimes—saw fit to herald her departure with the headline: “Sebeliusresigns after troubles with health site.” Really? Because that wasfive months ago. That's like me writing how I got food poisoninglast week from too much stuffing on Thanksgiving.

Don't get me wrong: The rollout was a disaster. Someone's headshould have rolled. But I never thought it should be her. Andcertainly not months later. There's no point now. In fact, the moreaccurate headline would have read: “Sebelius resigns after hittingenrollment goal.”

Which is exactly what Democrats will claim. After enrollmentclosed, the administration promptly announced a final enrollmenttally of more than 7 million people, exceeding the administration'swildest enrollment dreams. She's walking away on top: Missionaccomplished.

But, while enrollment numbers are the only real quantifiablemetric we have when judging the success or failure of this law'sfinal phase of implementation, those same numbers couldn't be morevague. We have no real demographic breakdown of the data, orcontext with regard to how much we’ve ending up paying for those 7million enrollees. (Personally, I’m betting somewhere around amillion bucks a head, but we’ll see.)

The rollout was a slow-motion train wreck we all saw coming butdid nothing to avoid. Somebody should’ve been accountable, andsomeone still should be. But we also shouldn't be too surprisedthat the federal government spent too much for something thatdidn't do enough. Hell, at least with NASA we get cool picturesfrom other planets.

Sebelius's legacy, on the other hand, is a mixed bag. I thinkthe onetime Democratic rising star is done politically. She'sforever tarred and feather with the law, whether that associationis fair or not.

But I’m betting she’ll make more than enough money at some thinktank. And, who knows, maybe if she's on the talk show circuit bythen, I’ll invite her to our next Benefits Selling Expo.
