Please join us for lunch at our upcoming Congressional Health Policy Education Program event in RHOB 2043. Lunch will be provided. Please feel free to share this invite with any health care staffer you think would be interested.

During the event, Congressional health staff will have the opportunity to dive into health care policy as it relates to the federal budget.

Panelists include:

Drew Gonshorowski is Paragon’s Senior Research Fellow. He has a decade of experience conducting quantitative research and building models examining health policy and entitlement programs. Prior to joining Paragon, Drew worked in The Center for Data Analysis (CDA) at The Heritage Foundation. At CDA, he built and maintained models and databases that were used to provide reviews of legislation for members of Congress, to supply data and analysis for news organizations, as well as to inform the work of other analysts.

Richard Stern is Director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at The Heritage Foundation. Prior to joining Heritage, Stern was a Congressional staffer for over seven years. During that time, he served as a policy staffer for the Republican Study Committee, where he was the staff lead for their Budget and Spending Task Force and spearheaded their work to create their FY 2020 and FY 2022 federal budgets.

Greg D’Angelo is a partner at The Nickles Group. Before joining The Nickles Group, Greg was the associate director of health programs at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

He reviewed all regulatory and administrative actions taken by federal health agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). While at OMB, he was also responsible for overseeing key payment rules and demonstration projects related to Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
