Reaping Profit After Assisting on Health Law
According to the above NYTIMES report:
“Washington’s health
care revolving door is spinning fast as the new online health insurance
marketplaces, a central provision of President Obama’s health care law, are set
to open Oct. 1. Those who had a hand in the law’s passage are now finding
lucrative work in the private sector, as businesses try to understand the
complex measure, reshape it by pressing for regulatory changes — or profit from
it.
That means boom times
for what might be called an Obamacare cottage industry, providing work for
dozens of former administration and mostly Democratic Congressional officials
whose immersion in health policy minutiae, and friendships, make them
invaluable to private business.”
