Healthcare -- it's big, it's complicated, but don't make the mistake of thinking it's dull. In the right hands, the drama of who gets healthcare, who doesn't and how we pay for it is as compelling as it gets. I've been writing about the confluence of the healthcare business and regular people's lives for the last 10 years. My stories explaining medical science, consumer health and the vagaries of the healthcare system have been read by daily newspaper readers, surfers seeking online health advice, hospital trustees and administrators and people picking up consumer magazines at the supermarket checkout line. My unique blend of the business and consumer sides of healthcare lets me drill down to what really matters to the reader. I've thrived as a freelancer for the past nine years by understanding the importance of deadlines, turning in clean copy and acting like a mature professional. I've been a newspaper and magazine writer for 25 years, with two book projects under my belt.
