I'm the author of Pre-Existing Conditions: How Lobbying Makes American Health Care More Expensive. The book has been covered by Newsweek and VTDigger, and is available for purchase from Oxford University Press, see the Book page for highlights from my media tour and a discount code to purchase a hard copy. 

I research legislative institutions and interest groups in the United States. See my research page for copies of my published work and datasets. At the University of Vermont, I teach courses on health policy and American political institutions. Also, I comment on Vermont and national politics from time to time.
