I’m an economist and lawyer focused on healthcare innovation.

My first job after school was in the federal government where I saw quickly that there were acceptable mores and meme about not just what to think, but how to think.

A year later, when I was 25, I underwent the same cultural force-feeding as professor at Hopkins. Fortunately, I developed a contrary voice, questioning government data being used to evaluate treatment outcomes and pay for care. Eventually, I built a data company that supported hospitals. After running and starting a couple of health risk companies, I ran the Kauffman Foundation, where I researched and promoted entrepreneurship around the globe.

Years later, I went back to my roots, returning as a professor. And then COVID-19 happened. Once I saw how our government was dealing with COVID-19, I knew I needed to utilize my experience, and skepticism, get down to the bottom of what was really going on.

Follow along as my team of public health data analysts and economists and I uncover the truths about what is so wrong about our federal government health systems, and how we can work to improve them. And regain the trust of the American people.
