Out of Patients?
YEAR OF THE PATIENT
You have lived this.
Patients and caregivers are no longer passive participants in American healthcare. They are voters, consumers, and the only people in the system with something at stake every single time.
Year of the Patient is a public declaration.
Wear it. Share it. Start the conversation.

2026 is the Year of the Patient.
That is the whole point. People who understand it will not need an explanation. People who do not will ask.
Wear it anywhere the system shows up in real life. Waiting rooms, airports, conferences, daily life. This is a signal, not a slogan.

Why This Exists
Matthew Zachary has spent three decades navigating American healthcare.
Out of Patients documents what actually happens inside the American Healthcare system. The delays. The denials. The indignities. The absurdity.
This collection puts that reality where people can see it.
…without prior authorization.
You Are
The Patient
The system counts on people staying quiet.
This makes it visible.
Wear it in public. Let people ask questions.
Answer them.
That is how this changes.
This is your year.
