POLITICO Podcast: Inside the fight shaking HHS

“HHS Secretary Alex Azar and CMS Administrator Seema Verma are the two most important health officials in the Humphrey building — but they’ve spent months disagreeing on policy, personnel and priorities. The longstanding cold war between them has heated up amid questions over Verma’s use of outside public relations contractors.”

“On this episode of ‘Pulse Check,’ POLITICO’s Dan Diamond joins colleagues Adam Cancryn and Rachana Pradhan to discuss the team’s recent reporting on the Azar-Verma relationship, what it means for the Trump administration’s policies and where it’s all headed.” Listen to the podcast here.
