Mike Leavitt served in the Cabinet of President George W. Bush, first as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and then as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Before this, he served as a three-time elected governor of Utah. He is also the founder of Leavitt Partners, a health care intelligence business.
When Governor Mike Leavitt was HHS Secretary a colleague tossed a book on his desk: a History of the 1918 pandemic, saying to study it. He then threw another book on the desk, saying "or there will be one of these", which was a congressional inquiry. Leavitt read the books. Trump hasn't. Michael and governor Leavitt discuss.
