I am a reporter for The New York Times who covers health care policy and public health. I work for a section called The Upshot, which often uses data and visuals to make complicated topics easier to understand.
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.
My Background
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.
Journalistic Ethics
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.
Despite the explosion in ransomware hacks like the one against Change Healthcare, regulation is spotty and few new safeguards have been proposed to protect patient data, vulnerable hospitals and medical groups.
