The Steady Erosion of Healthcare Affordability

Healthcare costs keep climbing, and employers are running out of room to maneuver. In this unreleased pre-launch episode, Kirk sits down with Aon’s Kevin Fyock and Kevin Smith to talk about the affordability crisis, why traditional strategies haven’t solved it, and where employers must go next.

They break down rising trend drivers, the limits of value-based care, the explosion of point solutions, what AI can realistically do today, and how employers should think about network design, high-cost claimants, and total rewards strain heading into 2025.

This one sets the tone for everything the podcast became: direct, practical, and deeply rooted in the employer point of view.
