Jonathan Cohn

Jonathan Cohn (born 1969) is a senior editor at "The New Republic" magazine and a senior fellow at Demos [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demos_%28US_think_tank%29] , a non-partisan public policy center that is headquartered in New York City. He writes about domestic politics and policy with a primary focus on health care, on which he recently published a book (see below). He has been called "one of the nation's leading experts on health care policy" ("Washington Post") and "one of the best health care writers out there" ("New York Times").

Before joining TNR, Cohn worked at "The American Prospect". He was born in 1969 and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and attended Harvard University where he was President of "The Harvard Crimson". From 2002 to 2004, he was also a media fellow at the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.

Mr. Cohn's 2007 book, , calls for universal health insurance, financed by the government. It presents case studies that demonstrate how America's current system causes even many middle class Americans serious financial or medical hardship. It also lays out a history of health insurance in America.

In the summer of 2008, "Sick" won the Harry Chapin Media Award, which is given out by World Hunger Year and recognizes the year's best work on hunger on poverty-related issues. It was also a finalist for the Robert F. Kennedy Book Prize and the New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Award.

National Public Radio's "Fresh Air" interviewed him about his book on April 11, 2007.
