    The HCC 2026 Stop-Loss Report: My Key Takeaways

    "What used to be a once-a-year catastrophic claim is now happening every single week across the stop-loss market." We're back for the fourth year in a row with our annual whiteboard review of Tokio-Marine HCC’s Stop Loss Report. Drawing from a massive block of over $2 billion in force premium, this report gives us one of the clearest, most objective looks at what is actually happening under the hood of self-funded health plans across the country. In this episode, I break down the biggest trends shaping the 2026 stop-loss environment. We look at the tightening stop-loss market, why underwriter discipline is ramping up, and why we likely won't see market stabilization until at least 2027. If you are a consultant, TPA, or plan sponsor trying to navigate renewals and protect your plan over the next 3 to 5 years, this breakdown is packed with actionable data. Tune in!

    Why Every Broker Needs A Fiduciary Co-Pilot | with Charlie Gragg

    "I relate it to one of the Wizard of Oz characters... I've seen behind the curtain. I know how it's all put together." What happens when a man who spent nearly five decades inside every corner of the self-funded industry decides his final act is to give the playbook away?My guest this week is Charlie Gragg, a true first-generation veteran of self-funding. Charlie started in the late 1970s underwriting stop-loss cases on napkins from payphone booths, went on to run his own TPA, and has now semi-retired into a role he believes the industry desperately needs: the fiduciary co-pilot.He won't take your broker of record letter; he doesn't want it. Instead, he partners with brokers, consultants, and C-suite executives to build health plans from scratch, the way an owner would.If you're a broker who knows you have a ceiling on your self-funding expertise, this episode is your permission slip to get help.

    The 2026 State Of Healthcare Spend | with Dena Bravata M.D.

    "Employers have the right to expect much more from their benefit consultants than ever before. This isn't just about managing the fully insured renewal anymore." In this week’s special bonus episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dena Bravata, physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and Clinical Advisor for ParetoHealth, to break down the findings from Pareto’s inaugural 2026 State of Healthcare Spend Report. Based on responses from nearly 1,600 CEOs, finance, and HR leaders, Dena and I unpacked why employers have finally reached their "damn it" moment. We discussed the massive unpredictability of fully insured renewals, why 80% of employers are actively considering alternative funding mechanisms, and the real reason half of the market is ready to fire their current broker. We also dove into the clinical side of the data. We looked at top cost drivers like cancer, MSK, and GLP-1s, and explored why treating mental health and substance use as a core component of your medical plan is non-negotiable for cost containment. If you advise SMB employers or manage a health plan yourself, the era of the broker "apology tour" and basic renewal management is over. This episode is a reality check on exactly what clients are expecting right now. Tune in!

    The Philosophy of U.S. Healthcare (And Why It Resists Change) | with Tom Stein

    "This is why insurance is such a beautiful problem... there is no solution. There are only psychological or philosophical answers to it." What if the rising cost of health insurance is a deeply ingrained philosophical problem? My guest this week is Tom Stein, CEO of American Trust Administrators (ATA). But this episode isn’t just a tactical breakdown of stop-loss and aggregate underwriting; it is a masterclass in the history, psychology, and economics of the U.S. healthcare system. Tom and I explore the deeply embedded Machiavellian forces that drive insurance carrier monopolies, and why small business owners often choose the "safe" option of a 97% fully-insured renewal simply out of a psychological fear of loss. We trace the origins of employer-sponsored care back to Henry Kaiser and WWII, discuss the ethics of "compulsion vs. choice" in taxation and single-payer models, and analyze whether the U.S. is currently in a "Fourth Turning" crisis phase of our healthcare delivery system. This is one of the most fascinating conversations you will hear all year. Tune in. Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!

    $6.5B DOJ Crackdown, Medicare GLP-1 Shifts, Hospital Price Tags | with Sid Sinha

    "When you see $6.5 billion in healthcare fraud, we all end up absorbing that in the commercial market." In this episode of Last Month in Healthcare, Producer Nathaniel and I sat down with Sid Sinha, founder and CEO of Avant/Nara Health, to break down the biggest healthcare news stories of June 2026. We started by looking at the DOJ's massive $6.5 billion healthcare fraud crackdown and what 1,400 revoked provider privileges actually means for the commercial market. We also tackled the stark reality that only 49% of U.S. adults now feel "cost-secure" about their healthcare, debated the downstream effects of Medicare's temporary coverage for GLP-1s, and looked at a new House bill that might literally force hospitals to print their prices on clinic walls. To cap it off, we ran a World Cup bracket-style game to crown the ultimate cost-containment strategy for self-funded plans, and I answered a listener question on how to keep clients from bailing on self-funding as medical inflation continues to rise into 2027.

    How One App Could Save U.S. Healthcare | with Matt Taylor

    "Fee-for-service has led to transactional primary care where providers have 10 or 15 minutes to code as much as they can just to keep the doors open. We’ve moved away from the idea of primary care as the quarterback of the entire health ecosystem." My guest this week is Matt Taylor, VP of Sales at Castlight. Having spent his career navigating the complex landscape of health plans, telehealth, and enterprise analytics, Matt has a unique vantage point on why our current approach to "sick care" is failing both employers and employees. We have spent decades trying to patch a system that treats health insurance and healthcare as the same thing. In reality, our current model is fundamentally incomplete - it's built to diagnose, treat, and triage symptoms, not to keep us well. In this episode, explore the shift back toward primary care as the foundation of the health plan. We discuss why point solution fatigue is killing engagement, how "benefits-aware" primary care can finally steer members toward high-quality, lower-cost providers, and how one app - acting as a centralized "front door" - can remove the administrative bloat that is currently crushing our physicians and confusing our members.  We also dive into the future of healthcare navigation, moving beyond basic search tools and into personalized, next-best-action guidance that manages patient risk before it becomes a catastrophic claim. If you are an HR leader or consultant looking to move beyond the commodity trap of traditional benefit offerings and rebuild your health plan from the ground up, tune in.

    The 2026 Employer Health Plan Playbook | with Mark Cuban

    "The most unused cash in the country right now is the money you're wasting on healthcare... If you save a million dollars a year, that's $20 million in market cap." Is your company treating its healthcare spend like a business strategy, or are you just writing a blank check to the major insurance carriers every year? In this episode, I was (finally) joined by Mark Cuban, Ann Lewandowski, and Matt Miron.  After answering how he would approach healthcare for a hypothetical company on Shark Tank, Mark broke down his exact playbook for mid-market employers: why you should fire traditional networks, the massive ROI of hiring an internal "Healthcare CFO" to negotiate single-case agreements, and why "carve-out" is the most important phrase for your benefit strategy this year.  Together, we also discussed the dark side of healthcare economics, including the exorbitant spread pricing of PBMs and distributors, how to use AI (like Claude or ChatGPT) to find the hidden "gotchas" in your ASO contracts, and the terrifying legal liabilities CEOs face when their carriers deny life-saving treatments. This one has been in the works for years, and I hope it doesn’t disappoint. Tune in! Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!

    Managing the Exploding Costs of Specialty Drugs | with Jake Velie

    "There's no reason why I should be able to do an infusion for 50% of the cost of what it's currently being allowed at. We've seen allowed amounts between $57,000 and $80,000 for Keytruda. I typically can have that in the home at $29,000." My guest this week is Jake Velie, CEO and co-founder of National Integrative Health (NIH). After spending the first half of his career in the clinical "meat grinder" of value-based care on the provider side, Jake realized the only way to truly fix the system was to control the dollars on the commercial plan side. Today, NIH acts as the ultimate watchdog and independent pharmacy solution for self-funded employers, actively managing J-codes, specialty drugs, and clinical coordination. In this episode, we unpack the exorbitant markups hospitals charge for infusions and how NIH has spent years building a 50-state network to redirect patients to safe, comfortable, and massively discounted at-home infusion care. Jake also breaks down the brutal reality of GLP-1 adherence, why his team refuses to fill 90-day prescriptions for weight-loss drugs, how they enforce formularies to switch patients from expensive biologics like Humira to low-cost biosimilars like Yusimry, and the absolute truth about the safety of international drug sourcing. If you want to know how to stop the bleeding on your pharmacy and medical claims while actually improving the white-glove customer service your employees receive, this is a masterclass in specialty cost containment.
