About Robert Longyear

Health Tech Happy Hour

The newsletter that actually explains how American healthcare works—and how it’s changing

Medicare payment models that reshape entire industries. Policy decisions made in conference rooms that ripple through emergency departments, doctor’s offices, and nursing homes.

Most people never see this machinery.
