<p class="lead">
It’s Sunday morning November 1st, and I’m eating candy for breakfast with my 9-year-old daughter, Maya
(full disclosure: it’s her candy). She’s been complaining that I know everything about her but she
doesn’t know anything about me.
</p>
<p>
What does she want to know? Well, to start with, what have I been doing all these nights that I
failed to read her a book before bed because I was busy with some kind of “Thon.” Hack-athon
I explain. Hack-a-what? How do I explain hacking to a fourth grader?
</p>
<p>
Luckily, it was the morning after Halloween. Always the right time to eat chocolate
and talk about hacking (just not that kind of hacking). I told her that a hack was a
smart, fast way to solve something that would take a very long time to do perfectly. I
told her she was a great hacker. Take her costume for example (she was a jaguar,
her school mascot). Someone else might have spent a long time building a perfect
costume, sewing a jaguar suit from jaguar-patterned fur, complete with claws and
whiskers. But what if you’re a kid who likes to do everything herself but you don’t
have a sewing machine or access to fake fur? Then you do what she did: use a pair of
pajamas and add a mask and tail from Party City. She warmed up to the idea of
hacking right away.
</p>
<br>
<img class="img-responsive" src="images/maya.JPG" alt="Jaguar">
<br>
<p>
Ok, she said. So you’re going to try to solve a problem in one day that would take
months to solve for real. Fixing things that are unfair makes sense to her. Fair is a
big thing when you’re 9. Until I tried to explain the problem we would be tackling:
the high cost of health insurance in the U.S. What’s health insurance? It’s how we
pay doctors to help us get better when we’re sick, and if it costs too much, some
people stay sick instead of getting better.
</p>
<p>
Now, Maya still has a hard time accepting the basic premise that grown-ups need to
work to earn money. As she is fond of pointing out, monkeys don’t earn money and
they do just fine. Her life plan is to live in a tree in the rain forest and eat fruit. But
she’ll still need a place to keep her books, so she’s grudgingly willing to accept that
some compromises are required for civilization. And now I’m telling her about
health insurance and paying doctors, and this makes no sense. Don’t doctors just get
paid for doing their jobs like everyone else? I start explaining to her how it’s the
people who get sick that pay the doctors when I realize that actually, she’s right.
That’s exactly how it works in a single-payer system, and in a lot of countries that’s
exactly what happens. Just not here.
</p>
<p>
So now she understands me perfectly. I’m trying to help patch something together
to cover the holes in our bizarre medical system that should never have been such a
mess to begin with. Makes as much sense as living in a tiny apartment in the city
when I could spend all day reading in a tree.
