Hi! I’m Dean Clancy.
I’m a health freedom advocate, policy analyst, consultant, opinion writer, and public speaker. I have more than twenty years’ high-level policy experience in Congress, the White House, and the U.S. health care industry. I work as a senior policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity, focusing on American health policy. I’m also president and founder of HSAs for All, and a partner at Adams Auld LLC, a public policy consultancy.
I have some policy passions, which dominate this admittedly odd little website: primarily U.S. domestic policy and constitutional reform. I’ve formed a passion for what I call ‘renewing the promise of American life’ and have even compiled an ‘American renewal plan,’ which, to be clear, is not so much a plan as a thought experiment: What would it take to make America America again? I mean America in her best and noblest sense. The ‘plan’ is my answer to that question.
For readers who are curious, I’ve posted a piece called ‘What I Believe.’
My hobbies are vaping, watching old movies, and listening to pleasant music. (I have a special fondness for Dixieland Jazz and Louis Armstrong.). And playing with my grandchildren.
I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and grew up in Aurora, Colorado. I’ve spent most of my career in Washington, D.C., and since 2016 have had the luxury of working remotely from sunny Florida. My wife and I have been married for more than thirty years and are blessed with four children and, so far, five grandchildren — all of them amazing. I regard them as living proof of evolutionary progress.
