He has developed and implemented crucial Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement reforms, and devised corporate structures to improve the competitiveness and efficiency of public hospitals.

""We were looking for lawyers who had a national impact in their fields and beyond, especially over the past five years -- lawyers who have the power to shape public affairs, launch industries, shake things up and get things done,"" stated Michael Moline, associate editor of The National Law Journal in the June 19 article Profiles in Power, which introduced the list of 100 Most Influential Lawyers.
