Dr. F*cking Oz?

I'm not talking just the kung flu vaccine that @piss pitts claimes to be an expert on. I'm no longer beheld to an NDA.
I worked as a QC Scientist at a place that produced injection drugs for duchennes muscular dystrophy, only facility in the world, as well as 100+ other drugs for injection.
Most NDAs are forever. Did you negotiate a time limit?
It's the gummies. It's like I can see the future and my comedian gene suddenly gets turned on. It's an amazing transformation I tell ya!
Is that true of only those between employers and employees? Most business NDAs I’ve seen I’ve seen have a term.
While they vary greatly, a lot of the ones I write have a term of the length of the engagement (e.g., for as long as two companies are working together) plus 3-5 years, but indefinitely for anything that qualifies as a trade secret.
For juicy NDAs (e.g., settling a personal claim such as sexual harassment or discrimination), the term would almost certainly be forever.
The gig is nothing but a compliance function administering the plethora of rules and regs provided by others who have the authority to make rules and regs. The most important part is to produce and distribute the 130 page Medicare and You book every year available in 16 languages and other accessible ways. I have never even looked at mine except to write this post. I’m sure some statute or reg requires it.
I can’t imagine why a guy like Oz would take this job. The administrator has no impact other than maybe fraud investigations and prosecutions as I mentioned.
Speaking of fraud, the Feds just knocked off my local provider for $23m for ER billing issues. If Oz steps up that kind of enforcement, he’s worth it.
I can’t understand why he’d want it either but there’s more that falls under cms than just fraud etc. the entire healthcare market exchange is under cms. Every lien for every pi case. On and on. It’s a lot
Mine is forever. It’s about never disclosing classified information. It’s standard for everyone with a clearance and access. Our President-elect is a good example of what not to do on this subject.
It is a lot. It’s also nothing but compliance with rules and regs. The administrator might recommend a policy change, but has no authority to actually implement any change.
Yeah he’s also overseeing the implementation and operation of the programs, financing for them, coordinating as a liaison with the state programs. It’s a big thing to oversee and yes I have no idea why Oz would want it
That makes sense. Are there any obvious examples in trade secrets where someone has broken such a commitment many years after an NDA expired?
Mostly a paper pusher. You certainly don’t need to be an accomplished thoracic surgeon or TV guy to do the job.
At least she hasn’t been marinated in the swamp of education policy which has given us the most expensive per pupil education in the world with world rank of 13.
The only qualification she really needs is to have a bigger mouth than Randi Weingarten.
