Mike Magee MD is a medical historian and journalist whose 1992 “Health Media Code of Ethics” remains the standard guidepost for health leaders communicating in the public sphere. His career, spanning the last half-century, has included senior leadership posts in universities, hospitals, industry and government. In all of these engagements, his public voice has mirrored his private values, and his reputation as a “disrupter from within” has been well earned and occasionally rewarded.
His history of the U.S. Medical-Industrial Complex (Code Blue/Grove/2020) remains the standard for the field. As he approaches his 8th decade, his courses continue to attract enthusiastic support at the Presidents College at the University of Hartford, and his weekly columns on HealthCommentary.org and https://thehealthcareblog.com/ have earned an active readership in the U.S. and abroad.
His lifetime social activism reflects his Jesuit education and his belief in Federalism, and an active system of “checks and balances.” An optimist with a strong Scot/Irish streak, he believes that “men are really capable of establishing good government from reflection and choice,” but not without engagement, and not without a fight. He is currently leading a campaign for “Divestiture of Tesla” in response to the transgressions of Trump and Musk.
