Month: March 2017

Rocks the Keep Away Tigers, Otter’s Consolation, and How Democrats Can Win Health Care (Again).

Posted on March 27, 2017 by Peter Loge

The health care debate in Congress is one I take personally. I worked on the Affordable Care Act. When my job as an Obama-appointee at the FDA ended, my lovely young wife and I signed up for health insurance on the DC health exchange. On Friday morning I was humming the song Schadenfreude from Avenue…

Schadenfreude Comes Close: How Republicans can kill the AHCA, win health care, and help save democracy.

Posted on March 24, 2017March 24, 2017 by Peter Loge

Schadenfreude isn’t exactly the right word to describe how I feel watching Republicans flail around on health care reform, but it moves in the right direction. It must be tremendously frustrating to be a Republican Senator, Representative or staffer right now. Your party controls the House, Senate, and the White House. You ran on fixing…

Starting a Conversation About Ethics and Politics: What ethical responsibilities, if any, do I have?

Posted on March 7, 2017March 7, 2017 by Peter Loge

  This is the first in what may become a series of posts about ethics and politics. No one has ever handed me a bag of cash in an airport parking lot in exchange for taking a political action that I thought was unethical or illegal. I’m sure it happens, it has just never happened…

Funding Patient Advocacy Groups: A case study in agenda setting  lobbying

Posted on March 2, 2017March 2, 2017 by Peter Loge

Time and attention are the scarcest resources a policymaker has. The best advocates know that getting a piece of that time and attention, and getting that time and attention focused appropriately, makes their preferred solution likely if not inevitable. It is not the pitch for or against a bill alone that wins the day, but…
