Daily Caller:

When Andy Slavitt reported for work as deputy administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services last June 10, he pocketed at least $4.8 million in tax-free income from major health-care companies.

 

That’s according to financial disclosure forms obtained by The Daily Caller, now published for the first time.

 

On June 27, he sold additional stock he personally held, raising his total windfall from the health industry to $7.2 million.

 

United Health Group was Slavitt’s most recent private sector employer.

 

The financial disclosure documents permit the public to examine for the first time Slavitt’s financial relationship with United Health Group, which is the largest health insurance company in the nation.
