Romney announces healthcare advisers – 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog – Boston Globe – Political Intelligence

August 23, 2007

Mitt Romney today unveiled a roster of advisers who will help him craft his healthcare policies.

The co-chairmen are Tom Price, a congressman from Georgia who is also a surgeon, and Tim Murphy, now president of Beacon Health Strategies after serving as Romney’s secretary of health and human services.

The six-member group also includes Glenn Hubbard, dean of the business school at Columbia University, and Cindy Gillespie, who helped Romney push through the landmark health reform law in Massachusetts last year.

Romney plans a major healthcare speech to the Florida Medical Association on Friday, when he will talk about the lessons from Massachusetts and how they might translate to the nation. As the Globe reported today, he will go into more detail than in his stump speeches, which tend to gloss over some of the less appealing details. (Boston Globe)
