100 Most Influential People in Healthcare – 2018
Rank 59
Xavier Becerra
California attorney general
Becerra has been extremely active on the healthcare front. He led an effort by 20 state attorneys general challenging the Trump administration's new criteria for handing out Title X funding. He successfully appealed -- for now -- a challenge to California's right-to-die law. And Becerra is suing one of the state's largest providers -- Sutter Health -- for anti-competitive practices.
