US healthcare is a joke. Let's make it funny.

Out-Of-Pocket is a weekly comedic deep-dive and analysis into the rabbithole that is our healthcare system. Existing healthcare research is dry and boring, and raises questions like:

Why are 75% of all healthcare conversations defining what a “digital therapeutic” is?

Why do I have to google MACRA to understand the article about it?

Why does MACRA contain ANOTHER ACRONYM IN IT??? (MACRA = Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, CHIP = Children's Health Insurance Program)??

I promise this won’t be another newsletter that you’re going to archive to “read later” and then tell everyone else that they should totally sign up for it. This shit is gonna slap.

I did healthcare research at CB Insights, building our healthcare newsletter to 90K+ subscribers. I also worked on the partnerships team at TrialSpark.

Come for the memes, stay for the analysis. Or just stay for the memes, whatever floats your boat.
