Joe served as the Director of the Domestic Policy Council under President Trump, where he played a pivotal role in shaping healthcare policy, including efforts to improve transparency and market competition. He is also the co-host of the DC EKG podcast, where I was recently on his show to dive into healthcare reform, economic policy, and the power of state-level innovation.
