EXCERPT:

“Below is an edited excerpt of an interview (Vincent) DeMarco did with MarylandReporter.com on Thursday. DeMarco, who is one of the most well-known health care lobbyists in Annapolis, discussed Biden’s health care and prescription drugs proposals and reflected on similar-themed legislation that the Maryland General Assembly passed during the 2021 legislative session.
