Congrats to our friend and former Unleash Prosperity Senior Fellow, Casey Mulligan, who was just appointed the affordability czar at HHS under Secretary RFK Jr.

There is no department in government that has more waste, fraud and inefficiency than HHS. Casey is going to be a busy warrior over the next few months.

Axios reports:

The Trump administration is bringing on a new official to focus on health care affordability, the Department of Health and Human Services tells Axios.

Why it matters: The personnel move suggests the administration is attempting to respond to voters’ concerns about health care costs ahead of the midterm elections.

Driving the news: HHS has appointed Casey Mulligan as chief economist and chief regulatory officer. He’ll advise Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other agency leaders on affordability issues.
