If you're interested in health care reform, the appointment of Peter Orszag to be director of the Office of Management and Budget is second only in importance to the the elevation of Tom Daschle to health czar and HHS secretary. OMB is a strange place. It's incredibly important, but also somewhat amorphous. It's a cabinet level agency that offers policy recommendations to the president, scores programs, builds the yearly budget. It is how the executive branch imposes empirical rigor on its agencies, and coheres their work into a single budget. In that way, it is the connective tissue of the federal bureaucracy. And the director sits atop all that, sets many of the agency's priorities, and is, generally, one of the president's top policy advisers. Orszag, who will turn 40 on Dec. 16, has been praised by lawmakers from both parties as an objective analyst with deep knowledge of the most pressing fiscal issues of the day, including health care policy, Social Security, pensions, and global climate change. He is the unusual economist who blends an understanding of politics, policy and communications in ways that wrap zesty quotes around complex ideas. If confirmed by the Senate to move to OMB, Orszag will have completed half of his four-year CBO term. Orszag, a father of two school-age children and an avid runner, holds degrees from Princeton University and the London School of Economics. The National Academies of Sciences' Institute of Medicine recently made him a member. Carr...

Peter Orszag’s departure, officially announced yesterday, was one of the worst-kept secrets in Washington. Weeks ago Orszag, whom I Orszag is an ambitious and restless soul—at forty-one, he’s the youngest member of Obama’s Cabinet—but most senior officials in a new Administration try to to make it past the two-year mark. So why the relatively early exit? White House aides cited three reasons. Orszag has told friends he’s burned out by the intensity of the job, noting that he moved to the Office of Management and Budget directly from the Congressional Budget Office, where he spent a similarly fast-paced two years. Though one person close to Orszag argued that the issue wasn’t so much burnout as boredom, noting that after putting together Obama’s first two budgets, Orszag felt unchallenged. With no other senior economic policymaking jobs available, there was no room for advancement. If he stayed until after the midterms he would have become wrapped up in the annual budget process, making it difficult for his replacement to have a smooth transition. Second, Orszag has told friends he’s eager to focus on his personal life after several years of turbulence. (In recent years he has divorced, fathered a child, and become engaged—and each event occurred with a different woman.) He is set to marry Bianna Golodryga, an ABC News correspondent, later this year. Orszag’s workaholism contributed to the dissolution of his first marriage, so for once the standard Washington excuse of want...
