I write about how government influences the American health care system — and the ways the structure of that system affects all of our health and finances.
I have written about health care for more than a decade, from various perspectives. I have also covered local government, national politics, the law and higher education.
Before coming to The Times, I was a reporter at National Journal and The Concord Monitor and an editor at Legal Affairs and the Yale Alumni Magazine. In 2014, I completed a Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism at Columbia University.
All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I work hard to ensure that my reporting is accurate and fair, representing a range of viewpoints. I don’t accept gifts from sources, and I don’t invest in individual companies or donate to political causes.
