Jesse Bushman is Breakthrough T1D’s Senior Director of Health Policy, a position he has held for about two years. He has worked in health policy for 21 years and somewhat like a baseball player switching teams, has also worked for the American College of Nurse-Midwives, Genentech (a major biopharmaceutical manufacturer), Americas Health Insurance Plans (the largest trade association for insurers), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the federal agency overseeing those programs), the Medical Group Management Association and as a staffer in the US House of Representatives. This background has taught him to look at policy issues from a variety of perspectives, which proves useful in working with the various stakeholder that engage with Breakthrough T1D.
