WaPo health care reporter leaving for Politico

Washington Post business editor Greg Schneider sent out the following announcement on Thursday:

We are sorry to announce that Jason Millman is leaving us to return to Politico, where he will move into an editing position. Jason was the first of our several hires for Wonkblog last year, and he was a steady and reliable presence as the whole team changed around him. Day in and day out, Jason provided smart, insightful coverage of the Affordable Care Act that made Wonkblog a must-read for anyone following this important policy area.
We will miss his deep knowledge about health policy issues, but even more we’ll miss him as a calm and generous colleague. Jason’s last day is tomorrow (April 10), and please join us at 3:15 in Financial as we wish him well in his new role.

Millman is a Boston University graduate who previously worked at the Hartford Business Journal and The Hill.
