Excellent discussion today on the ongoing disintermediation of the healthcare industry. It was refreshing to hear your insights on how employers are working together to maximize their collective purchasing power, building direct partnerships with health systems and providers to address their employee health needs, and responsibly managing their ERISA fiduciary obligations regarding their health plans. It was also interesting to hear your view on the impact of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) in promoting pricing transparency and combating egregious billing practices. But there is still much work to be done!
