Presently, she teaches public health care policy at both Baruch College and the Graduate Program at Sarah Lawrence College and has been hired as a consultant by the PSC to help us navigate issues of retiree health care.

Her most recent book (2021, Stanford University Press) is The Biomedical Empire – Lessons Learned from The Covid -19 Pandemic.
