The Most Influential Health Care Policy Official??Meet Joe Grogan

The White House’s Office of Management and Budget gives the 'yes or no' to regulations, guidance, and administrative policies before they are released. The man who makes the decisions on health care issues for OMB is Joe Grogan. "Perhaps more than any other member of Trump’s administration, (Grogan) holds the power to nix or give the nod to hundreds of regulations shaping how the federal government runs Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, the FDA, the CDC and all the other sub-agencies contained within the sprawl of the Department of Health and Human Services,” according to recent news reports. This is the man who led the effort on CMS’ controversial 340B policy as well as easing reporting requirements for physicians. Recently he stated the 340B program is "incredibly flawed in how its operating." Grogan formerly worked for big pharma. For more on Grogan, click here.
