<h1>I got tired of reading coverage that missed the point.</h1>
<p class="lede" style="max-width:640px;">Federal health IT affects millions of service members, veterans, and their families. The coverage should match the stakes. Most of it doesn't. So I built something that does.</p>

<h2>The gap isn't technical. It's about who's telling the story.</h2>

<p style="color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.8;max-width:62ch;">The decisions made inside DHA, VA, and Congress don't stay in briefing rooms. They ripple out to contractors bidding work, clinicians using the systems, and service members waiting on care. When those decisions get covered badly — or not at all — real people pay for it.</p>
<p style="color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.8;">Most coverage is either press releases with a new headline or 80-page reports nobody reads. I wanted something in between — clear enough to act on, deep enough to trust, and honest enough to say when something isn't working.</p>
</div>
<div class="card" style="padding:32px;max-width:700px;margin-top:32px;">

That's the gap I cover.</p>

<p style="font-size:0.9rem;color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.6;">If I can't source it, I don't publish it. Dates, dollars, and operational consequences — or it doesn't go out.</p>

<h3 style="font-size:1rem;margin-bottom:8px;">Nobody Pays Me to Be Nice</h3>
<p style="font-size:0.9rem;color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.6;">No vendor sponsors this. No employer shapes the analysis. If a program is failing, I say so. Independence is the product.</p>
</div>

<h3 style="font-size:1rem;margin-bottom:8px;">Say It So People Can Use It</h3>
<p style="font-size:0.9rem;color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.6;">Complex policy deserves clear explanation. If you have to Google three acronyms to understand the paragraph, I've failed.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p style="font-size:0.88rem;color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:12px;">I've spent my career where federal health policy hits the ground — inside DoD, DHA, VA, and civilian agencies, working on the systems that actually reach clinicians and service members. I know where the friction is because I've worked inside it.</p>
<p style="font-size:0.88rem;color:var(--mmt-text-secondary);line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:12px;">That experience taught me something uncomfortable: most analysis of this space either misses the operational stakes or avoids the hard questions. I built MMT to cover the gap honestly — for the people who can't afford to get this wrong.</p>
