Scott Got­tlieb likes his job run­ning the FDA, but he is­n't rul­ing out a big HHS pro­mo­tion

Ex­act­ly 5 months af­ter Scott Got­tlieb was sworn in as the new com­mis­sion­er of the FDA, he’s a top can­di­date to re­place his old boss Tom Price as head of Health and Hu­man Ser­vices. And even as he de­murs about the idea of tak­ing the high pro­file Cab­i­net post, he isn’t ex­act­ly re­fus­ing to con­sid­er it.

“I feel like I want to con­tin­ue to fol­low through on the poli­cies we’ve put out [at FDA] and it’s where I think I can be most ef­fec­tive,” the diplo­mat­ic Got­tlieb told Reuters in an in­ter­view.
