Dossier LEG/RL — Legislative Relations
Healthcare legislation is written by lawyers, argued by lobbyists, and lived by patients — and very little of it survives translation between those three groups intact. Dan's legislative work sits in that gap: engaging directly with domestic and foreign government leaders and regulators, and reading the legislative environment closely enough to turn complex healthcare law into language members of Congress, carriers, and front-line operators can actually use — a contribution formally recognized by members of Congress for simplifying complex healthcare legislation.
That work has carried him to Washington, D.C. as lead presenter on the Affordable Care Act, onto a national speaking circuit, and into a recurring column read across digital and print healthcare media.
