Stat Plus reports that, in the new CMS headed by Dr. Oz, DJT veteran Abe Sutton may be picked to head the Center for Medicare Innovation (CMMI).
Abe Sutton, who's crammed McKinsey, White House, Harvard Law School, and Rubicon Advisors into the last several years, was said to be a pivotal figure in a big, cross-agency renal program rolled out by the prior administration in 2019.
