Yielding the bully pulpit: a conversation with Tommy Thompson. Interview by John K Iglehart
Abstract:
In January 2005 Tommy Thompson relinquished the post of secretary of the U.S. Department of Human Services (HHS). Known as being an outspoken defender of his principles throughout his tenure at HHS, Thompson continues that tone in an interview conducted shortly after he left Washington. Topics covered include ways to curb Medicare spending; devote greater attention to preventive health and proper incentives for technology; improve the vaccine infrastructure of the United States and the world; and continue to infuse U.S. foreign policy with what Thompson has termed "medical diplomacy," in an effort to counter the messages of America's enemies.
