After a presidential administration changes hands, top federal officials often move into industry or advocacy jobs, while the new administration picks people from those groups to fill its own top openings. This "revolving door" of politics gives interest groups greater access to members of Congress or to the administration, which allows them to advance their policy positions.

Here are some of the job changes in healthcare that have occurred since around the time President Trump was sworn in to the White House.

Former Obama administration officials who joined the healthcare industry or advocacy groups:

Kevin Counihan: The former CEO of healthcare.gov, the federal Obamacare exchange, was recently hired by insurer Centene. He will be working as the regional vice president for the company's Midwest division and out of its headquarters in Clayton, Mo.
