Another week behind us. That one felt a little long. Let's have some fun. Please feel free to share any political cartoons, image macros, infographics, memes, or other things that would typically be off-topic here on /r/politics. Keep in mind that civility rules still apply and that meta discussion will be removed.

I am Zeke Emanuel and I am a physician and health care policy expert. I wear several hats including Chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, op-ed contributor to the New York Times and I am in the midst of writing my 4th book. I was the founding chair of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. I was also a member of the Obama Administration where I served as a Special Advisor on Health Policy to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and National Economic Council. In that role I focused on passing and implementing the ACA, better know as Obamacare. Last month I had an engaged and thoughtful conversation with President-elect Trump about the future of healthcare.

Other points on my background:

1) I love to cook and even ran a pop up breakfast restaurant in DC

2) I developed The Medical Directive, a comprehensive living will that has been endorsed by Consumer Reports on Health, Harvard Health Letter, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and many others.

3) You can read more about my background at www.ezekielemanuel.com

4) This is my first time on Reddit!

Proof coming soon!

Edit: See you soon again. Off for now.
