Who am I?
I was diagnosed with a cognitive brain disorder at the age of 23 and have more than 20 years lived experience overcoming bipolar disorder. I have been a Social Security Disability and Medicare Beneficiary for the better part of 15 years. On the PASS and Ticket to Work programs as a disability and accommodations student I completed masters studies at Johns Hopkins University in 2020, finishing with a 4.0 GPA and a 98.2% grade average while completing multiple graduate internships at advocacy groups and community mental health networks, in policy and data science.
From 2022-2024 I worked at a startup telebheavhaioral organization, where I built a third of their treatment program from the ground up, hired staffed, designed and trained a team of 15+ subclinical providers, while support grant and RFP initiatives, early marketing and development and early data science, research and outcomes, towards the end of my tenure.
Since, I have written a book on bipolar disorder and am have soft-launched an investing application for Windows 11 and MacOS desktop that we hope to list on the Microsoft and Apple Stores this year, after beta testing is complete.
We value Song Health at between
$1 billion — 5 billion USD in annual gross revenue
Valuation:
Service population
~ 10 million disabled adult Americans
Current Social Security Disability + Medicare Beneficiaries
Increases in tax revenue
At present, net state and federal income tax revenue from social security disability beneficiaries is around zero dollars. By removing earnings limits for beneficiaries, modeling indicates income will increase substantially, with program costs reducing over time, even by granting benefits, essentially, for life.
Additionally, through job-education-centric behavioral health programing, we anticipate increasing average income for disability beneficiaries from net zero to a modest 10,000 per year (over benefits), taxed at a 15% flat rate, (above benefits), which is estimated to yield $100B in beneficiary income, and $15B in unrealized tax revenue.
Example average beneficiary work output
(modest/low estimate)
= $15/hr.
x 14 hours per week (2 days per week)
x 48 weeks per year (4-week vacation)
= 10,000 in income, on average per beneficiary
Or a 1,000 per month stipend
(flex hours fir creative endeavors)
$10,000 x 8M disabled Americans (earnings) = 100B
Tax Rate = 15%
Unrealized US Revenue = 15 billion

Modeling indicates tax revenue may be more…
Using inverse exponential models in the R programing language, the chart below may show a more realistic (we hope to start anyway)
Here about 450,000 beneficiaries or less than 5% make over 100,000, compared to around 10% of the US population. The median income in this model is around $1500, and the low is net zero, with around half of the population, in the model, essentially earning net zero.
With the right programming, of course, this model could easily shift to the right, employing more disabled people at higher wages, thereby doubling the tax revenue to more than $50 billion per year.
