About me

Introduction	My educational background categorizes me as a research methodologist... statistics, methods, measurement. And my (diverse) experiences include positions in acedemia, health businesses, and benefits consulting, among others. But my interest is in the SEARCH aspect of RE-SEARCH.... searching for an understanding of why health care costs so much, yet evidence suggests more spending doesn't necessarily make us healthier. In this blog, I want to share what I am learning - economics is a HUGE part of the equation. Follow the money, and you will discover part of the explanation.
