Dave Johnson is the author of the recently-published Market vs. Medicine: America’s Epic Fight for Better, Affordable Healthcare and the influential Market Corner Commentaries distributed weekly to a large and diverse readership.

After a dynamic 25-year investment banking career in healthcare markets, Dave Johnson launched 4sight Health in 2014 to advance market-based reform. 4sight Health operates at the intersection of healthcare economics, strategy and capital formation. Dave is also an inaugural member of Harvard’s Health Policy Leadership Council and collaborates with Cain Brothers, a pre-eminent healthcare investment bank. These activities keep him close to the market and engaged with entrepreneurs reinventing U.S. Healthcare.

Dave earned an AB in English Literature from Colgate University and a Master’s Degree in Public Policy from Harvard University. He was a Language Arts Peace Corps Volunteer in Liberia, West Africa where he taught grammar, literature and math to very large (100+ students) classes, coached a championship soccer team and survived a coup d’état. Today, he is a voluminous reader, speaker and writer with expertise in health policy, economics, statistics, behavioral finance, disruptive innovation, organizational change and complexity theory advises.

Through his writing, speaking, consulting and advising, Dave Johnson wakes up every morning intent on fixing America’s broken healthcare system. Like Cleveland Clinic’s CEO Toby Cosgrove, Dave believes “the state of our nation depends on the state of our health.
