Employer Self-funded Healthcare and Solving the Care Access Crisis

In this episode, we speak with Rob Andrews, CEO of Health Transformation Alliance. A former member of Congress who was one of the authors of the Affordable Care Act, Rob now works with more than 60 of the largest US companies to help recreate a “Marcus Welby” approach to healthcare that centers patient needs rather than insurance company priorities.

We discuss why self-insurance (where the risk of healthcare coverage is shifted from insurance companies to employers) is a key component of fixing the healthcare system, why providers should be paid on the basis of patient outcomes and how racial disparities create inequities in healthcare coverage. Rob also shares his vision for a healthcare model that emphasizes convenience and accessibility for patients while saving money for employers.
