Executive Summary
In what can only be described as a major coup, AdvaMed has beefed up its lobbying staff by snapping up the high-powered Capitol Hill health policy and Democratic congressional staffer, David Nexon. For more than 20 years, Mr Nexon served as the Democratic health policy staff director for the US Senate's HELP (health, education, labour and pensions) committee, and as the senior health policy advisor to Senator Edward Kennedy.
