The 7.0 earthquake that struck near Port-au-Prince on January 12 is the worst Haiti has seen in over 200 years. Haiti's government says it buried 170,000, and millions are still in need of help. It was already the most impoverished country in the western hemisphere and nobody yet knows the extent of the devastation.
MoreHealth and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is the White House cabinet member who would be in charge of administering any new health care system in the United States.

We find out how more on how her department is trying to get aid to to the earthquake-ravaged country. We'll also ask her about the prospects of the plan to reform health care.
