Healthcare costs are growing twice as fast as inflation—and specialty care at an even more alarming rate. This fireside chat examines what this means for employers and the working families they support. Shawn and John will dive into whether direct contracting can be a game-changer, whether employers have the power to truly change market dynamics, and how the status quo in specialty care pricing is designed to be opaque and burdensome for employers and employees. With a focus on practical, employer-led solutions, this session offers a fresh perspective on bending the healthcare cost curve and improving lives for the few who drive the majority of spend.
