| Excerpts from:http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/2009/02/26/new-aids-czar-noted-medicaid-geek-widely-praised-advocates - Quote :
- The White House release cites Crowley's
primary areas of expertise as "Medicaid policy, including Medicaid prescription drug policies; Medicare policy; and consumer education and training."
And indeed, those who have worked with him on these issues were clearly excited, even gushing, about the appointment, including Robert Greenwald, Director of the Treatment Access Expansion Project (TAEP).
"I think it's amazing," said Greenwald. "He is one of the most hardworking, diligent, non-ego-involved people I've ever worked with, just a good person. I can't even believe it. He's incredibly plugged into the community."
While Crowley helped to develop the National HIV Testing Day Campaign during his tenure at NAPWA, those who have worked closely with him in recent years do note that prevention is not his main area of expertise.
But Munar, calling Crowley an "instrumental team player," says he expects that, far from having a deaf ear towards prevention, Crowley recognizes its importance, will bring in those who know it well and will talk about it from a health care perspective, emphasizing a cost-savings paradigm that he believes will resonate well.

- In conference calls with AIDS advocates this week, White House Domestic AIDS Czar Jeffrey Crowley
continued to defend the Obama administration’s progress on HIV/AIDS policy and said that a basic structure for a National AIDS Strategy should be in place by early 2010. Many advocates were skeptical as to both the timeline and how much community input will be a part of the process.... | |
