I am so pleased that @realDonaldTrump has nominated my good friend Jim O’Neill @regardthefrost as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of HHS. Jim was my Associate Dep Sec when I was in that role. He will make a superb Dep Sec of this department that means so much to me.

more expensive injectables (which get more years before price fixing) are prioritized over cheaper pills, launches of drugs are delayed to develop the full suite of indications before starting the clock on price fixing, and new drugs get launched first outside the U.S., (5/6)

Don’t be deceived if there’s a collective yawn today from the financial world in reaction to the drug price-fixing decisions being announced today. 🧵(1/6)

Just appeared on the Radio Advisory podcast with Rachel Woods. It's a long one, but I think a good one. Much deeper discussion of the wonky aspects of health policy and economics than one can cover in a normal media interaction. link.chtbl.com/episode206?sid…

The @US_FDA once again affirmed the safety of aspartame, as have many other food regulatory bodies across the world. The FDA is the gold standard in ensuring the safety of America's food supply. That’s good enough for me and my family. newsweek.com/upholding-fdas…

Our team led a once-in-a-generation restructuring of healthcare in America. Here is my end-of-administration letter of resignation to President Trump, who empowered me to take on entrenched special interests. We put the patient at the center of healthcare. Where he/she belongs.

As of noon, January 20, 2021, I will be tweeting again from this personal account on public policy matters, rather than @HHSGov and @SecAzar. Follow me here. Thankful for the life-changing experience of leading the unbelievable women and men of HHS for the past three years.
