    The Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) handles:

    • Medicare
    • Medicaid
    • the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
    • the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance Marketplaces

    They are also in charge of:

    • Setting the health insurance portability standards for the United States
    • The administrative end of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
    • Setting the Federal quality standards in long-term care (nursing homes)
    • Clinical laboratory quality standards under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988

    So it’s not just Medicare and Medicaid, but millions of people within the ACA and including seven million children in CHIPs that he’ll be overseeing. Not to mention setting the standards of care for millions of people in nursing homes.
