EXCLUSIVE — The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services maintained a secret chat with members of over two dozen liberal advocacy organizations connected to influential donors to coordinate policy implementation and messaging concerning the Inflation Reduction Act, the Washington Examiner has learned.
In February 2024, Sarah Bourland, then a senior policy adviser at HHS, sent an email to representatives from an array of left-of-center organizations titled “Stakeholder Workgroup: IRA & prescription drugs,” according to documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act Request by the Public Health Reform Alliance. The email contains links to HHS talking points and material published by liberal groups praising the Biden administration’s efforts.
