Financial conflicts of interest with health care industry

If it's now acceptable to give progressive complaints about Zients' corporate financial conflicts of interest, here's an editorial by Briahna Joy Gray, Bernie Sanders' PR spokesperson during his 2020 presidential run. She argues that Zients made millions of dollars from the health care industry, including companies that committed Medicare fraud, and this indicates that Biden, who got more contributions from the health care industry than any other candidate, will be serving the interests of the health care industry, rather than the the interests of constituents who are now paying inflated prices for drugs. She also mentions that Pod Save America had a piece defending Zients' appointment, which you can link to, to make the entry follow Wikipedia:NPOV.
