Early life and Education[edit]

Career[edit]
Marc Samuels began his healthcare career in 1989/1990 working in both the public and private sector.
Samuels began his career working for the Midwest AIDS Behavioral Research Institute and for Deborah Steeelman, a well-known Washington healthcare lobbyist. He served both President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush[4] in the Office of Policy Development[5] and the Governor’s Office, respectively.[6] He served as chief of staff to the Commissioner of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, with responsibility for oversight of Texas’ Medicaid program.[1]
On leaving public service in 1999, Samuels founded the Health Policy Group[1] with former Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) Interim Administrator J. Michael Hudson. He then went to work at HillCo Partners, the most well-regarded Texas lobbying firm. Samuels left HillCo Partners having founded HillCo HEALTH[7] as a spin-off of the lobbying firm in 2008 and started ADVI in 2013. ADVI looks at the healthcare system from the perspective of the future with deep industry insight, analytical rigor and an eye towards policy and politics as it considers how the system will evolve. Outside of the United States, ADVI has partnered to complete projects in Australia, Brazil, Columbia, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, and the UK.[8]
The 2016 election revitalized Samuels’ public policy presence as demand for understanding of the new Republican administration’s priorities and attacks on drug pricing were of interest to a broad cross section of ADVI clients, and the general public. At the beginning of 2017, Samuels wrote an article featured in The Hill titled Trump’s healthcare nominees are just what the doctor ordered.[9] Following this article he was featured in Fierce Healthcare’s discussing Donald Trump's ACA executive order[10] , and along with ADVI Director Lindsay Bealor Greenleaf, wrote a piece discussing Hospitals, middlemen inflating healthcare costs as well as an opinion piece addressing that Government negotiation of prescription drug prices isn’t a panacea for lower costs for STAT News.[11] He was also featured in CBS News articles disccussing 3 ways Rx "middlemen" may have to reform and A tricky wrinkle in Trump's Medicare Rx "Blueprint".
