About Health is Other People
Who am I?
I’m an aspiring writer interested in stories about strategy, economics, technology, and philosophy through the lens of healthcare. I’m a recovering management and technology consultant having worked across different sectors of providers, payers, pharma, and a little policy.
I have two wild and small kids, a wife with limitless patience, and am blessed to have my in-laws and parents in my life.
Why I Write This
I think healthcare is the most fascinating industry in the world. It has tensions in economics, health, sociology, philosophy, and culture.
Yet it’s vastly underexplored as a topic and is mired in complexity. And most importantly, people can make it so boring.
I want to tell healthcare stories in a creative and clarifying way. I come as an observer, not a preacher - I'm not here to sell you a solution. I want to help us see the system clearly - because you can't fix what you can't name.
What You’ll Find Here
Industry analysis from multiple angles - payer, provider, patient, policy. Always at least a few perspectives.
The boring stuff that actually matters - revenue cycle, operations, the unsexy machinery that determines who gets care and who pays.
Cultural commentary - healthcare as meaning-making, power dynamics, why we keep having the same fights.
Weekly observations on LinkedIn. Longer essays here when they’re ready to be good.

Where This Is Going
I’m building toward something bigger - a book, a body of work, maybe a movement. The working thesis: Health is Other People.
Inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s play No Exit, the thesis is an existentialist philosophy: existence precedes essence.
Simply put, we are what we do, not what we say.
We fix healthcare by fixing how we see each other. Not through policy and platitudes. I want to use this space to tell stories. Through learning to stop pushing against each other and start moving in the same direction.
