Proximity gives you policy power.

In this episode of When Health Freezes Over, I invite Christopher Drumm, Founder of Drumm and Daughters LLC to explore the realities of lobbying, Medicaid expansion, and how relationships-not just policy-shape outcomes.

Real influence in healthcare policy doesn’t start in boardrooms.

It starts with proximity. Being in the room.

Being from the district. Being someone decision-makers recognize as their voice.

That’s the hidden advantage most outsiders underestimate.

Policy isn’t just data and strategy-it’s identity, trust, and shared ground.

When you show up as a local, you’re not asking for attention.

You’re expected to be heard. That changes everything.

Because in systems as complex as Medicaid, access to decision-makers often matters just as much as the solution itself.
