REVOLVING DOOR UPDATE: Former Obamacare chief to lead top insurance lobby. “The former chief of Medicare and Medicaid, who was responsible for overseeing the implementation of President Obama’s healthcare law, will lead the insurance industry’s top lobbying group. Marilyn Tavenner, who in February stepped down from her role as chief administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, will become the new head of America’s Health Insurance Plans, which represents dozens of U.S. insurers.”

With that track record, you know she’s being hired for her connections and not for her skills. Yet another argument for my revolving-door surtax.
