The CMS admin has a reputation for being one of the sharpest minds on Medicaid and Medicare policy that are based on market criteria - and not on increased government control. She has gotten this job via merit and not because she is a victim minority as you shamefully suggest.
Frankly, for folks like you, it appears any immigrant who is on the Right deserves to be condemned because they aren’t “10th generation” Americans. Remember - neither is the president Elect.
There is absolutely no statistical chance that someone from a 1% cohort of the United States population could get a job entirely “on merit” as you claim.
There are by any measure tens of thousands of equally qualified non-Indians who were not even considered for the job. Simple statistics and comparison of relevant work histories would show that.
All things being equal, she has a high profile job that represents something < 0.0008% of the working population because she is a favored ethnicity. And no other reason. Her views on alternative insurance plans for medical insurance are well known for generations in the United States and probably unheard of anywhere in the Punjab.
So her knowledge is derivative, not original. What sets her apart is...her ethnicity. Nothing more.
Occam’s Razor.

Let me know how India still feels about the Raj.
