Episode notes
Reaching Out to Government
- Chris Severn and Adam Geitgey contacted government officials about price transparency laws during a public forum.
- This led to ongoing dialogue and Severn testifying before Congress, highlighting the government's receptiveness to tech perspectives.
Engage with Washington
- Washington wants to work with industry, but they primarily mean established entities with Washington offices.
- Startups need to find ways to get their voices heard, as policymakers often lack access to their perspectives.
Regulatory Capture
- Regulations can favor incumbents, creating a "regulatory capture" effect.
- This was evident with the HITECH Act, which led to a decrease in healthcare IT companies due to strict EMR certification requirements.
