In her first interview since the White House announced her resignation as the president's top healthcare adviser, Sebelius told NBC's &quot;Meet the Press&quot; on Sunday that she and Obama first spoke about her future after Obamacare enrollment began to show signs of recovering from its disastrous October 1 launch. &quot;The president and I began to talk after the first of the year, and I went back to him in early March,&quot; Sebelius said. &quot;I made it pretty clear that it really wasn't an option to stay on.&quot; Sebelius was responding to speculation that the White House may have forced her resignation in a bid to open a new chapter for Obama's signature domestic policy achievement ahead of November's election battle for control of Congress during the final years of the Obama presidency.</p><br clear="all"/>
