About Duncan Cross

Duncan is my real name. Cross is not. Together, they form a convenient semipseudonym.

I used to write about health and health care. I thought that — as someone with a serious health condition — people like me weren’t being heard. I thought I could help shape the debate. I was wrong. Health care isn’t really about sick people, the way immigration isn’t really about brown people and affirmative action isn’t really about black people. So – lesson learned.

Now I am focused more on arranging words into amusing configurations.
