Ron Klain, who served as Ebola czar for President Obama, has taken up pen and paper to press the American public of the need to watch out – this White House administration has overzealous regulatory designs.
"Recent developments in Washington, especially the Obama administration's greater desire to flex its regulatory muscles in several key areas, mean that some booming startups will have to navigate new governmental hurdles in Washington, D.C.," he wrote in a column at Tech Crunch.

"The most visible conflicts between startups and the government in the next two years will be in the nation's capital, not in city halls or state houses," he said, referencing the fact that Obama only has two years left in the White House and has come out strong to enact his policies and agendas.
He pointed to a few areas in particular to put on the regulatory watch list: drones, financial technology, and medical devices and genetic testing.

Klain also served as an aide to Al Gore, the vice president under President Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden, the Daily Caller reported. He quit his Ebola position a few weeks ago and returned to Revolution LLC, a tech venture capitalist company, as general counsel. He's also worked as a lobbyist for medical companies.
