Heidi Overton's Role in Trump's Health Policy Sparks Debate Amid MAHA Reforms
Heidi Overton, a senior health-policy official on the White House Domestic Policy Council, has become a central figure in the Trump administration's health policy reforms, particularly those associated with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. Overton's role involves coordinating health policies to align with President Trump's priorities, including controversial initiatives like psychedelic therapies and marijuana rescheduling. Her cautious approach has drawn criticism from MAHA activists who view her as an obstacle to rapid reform. Despite this, Overton is considered a key player in the administration, with her work being recognized as instrumental in shaping health policy. She is currently a finalist for the position of Food and Drug Administration commissioner, a role that would expand her influence over national health regulations.
