Ep. 164 - Tom Schatz

In this episode of the Federal Newswire Lunch Hour, host Andrew Langer sits down with Tom Schatz, President of Citizens Against Government Waste, for a wide-ranging conversation on federal spending, Medicare reform, and the failures of government price controls. The discussion covers the legacy of the Reagan-era Grace Commission, the track record of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the risks of drug price controls, and why patient-centered, market-driven healthcare remains critical to innovation and affordability. A candid, policy-focused examination of how government inefficiency persists—and what reforms actually work.
