Between 1993 and 1994, Professor Rosenbaum worked for President Clinton, where she directed the drafting of the Health Security Act and designed the Vaccines for Children program, which today provides near-universal immunization coverage for low income and medically underserved children. Professor Rosenbaum also regularly advises state governments on health policy and has served as a testifying expert in landmark litigation to enforce the rights of children under Medicaid.
