Earlier this year, Phil Singer, @bradwrightphd.bsky.social, and I published a piece in JHPPL in which we looked at 1332 waiver activity from 2019 to 2023. We examined how the Trump administration used waivers to try to accomplish some of their #healthpolicy priorities, and how Biden reversed course.
