personal news: I left the New Republic to start a Substack. It’s called Sick Note, it’s about how awful American healthcare is, and it’s launching in January (but you can sign up now if you like!). read about it here: sicknote.co/p/welcome-to-s… it's a pretty simple premise: interviews with normal people, not policy wonks or healthcare executives, about what our healthcare system does to their lives. it'll start regularly in january, with a couple posts before then to get you going
