I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

I love when I read a manuscript, go to submit a very glowing peer review, and find out that I am reviewer 2. Guess there's a first time for everything. 😂

Earlier this year, Phil Singer, @bradwrightphd.bsky.social, and I published a piece in JHPPL in which we looked at 1332 waiver activity from 2019 to 2023. We examined how the Trump administration used waivers to try to accomplish some of their #healthpolicy priorities, and how Biden reversed course.
