JOIN THE
WE THE PATIENTS
WHATSAPP
STREET TEAM
A Breakfast Club/Goonies/80s prom rave for healthcare troublemakers.
The unofficially official home for people who read We the Patients: Understanding, Navigating, and Surviving America's Healthcare Nightmare and thought: Well, shit. Now what?
Now we make some noise.
We're a growing crew of outsiders and professional agitators who are done pretending any of this is normal. We meet on WhatsApp.
SO WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY DO?
We spread the word. On purpose.
We the Patients is becoming a sleeper word of mouth book. The problem is that a lot of people who need it still think it's another cancer memoir. That's what we're here to fix.
Put it in a room. Book clubs. Libraries. PTAs. Church groups. Synagogues. Rotary Clubs. Elks Lodges. Workplaces. Nursing schools. Med schools. Your neighbor who has been screaming at UnitedHealthcare since Tuesday.
Put it in front of someone who can move things. Professors. Doctors. Employers. Benefits leaders. Journalists. Politicians. Celebrities. You don't have to pitch them. Just open the door. We'll take it from there.
Hand it to one person. Recommend it. Gift it. Send the link. Tell somebody who thinks it's a cancer memoir what it actually is.
And if you've read it, say so where it counts. Honest reviews on Amazon and Goodreads are how strangers find this book.
Everyone knows someone. Everyone has a door they can open.
WHAT YOU GET
Matthew is in the group. Not a manager, not a bot, not a newsletter.
Ideas, tools, targets, and the occasional marching order.
Flyers, stickers, and materials, free, mailed to you.
And if you can put a room together, he'll come to it. Living room, library, lunch and learn, bookshop reading. The East Coast is a train ride. Everywhere else, let's talk.
No résumé required. No healthcare degree required. Millions of followers optional.
That's the Street Team. 📼✊
