Primary care is so back. What was once unsexy seems to be heating up. I spent this week with healthcare founders and everyone is talking about primary care. I'm excited to see how we reinvent this thing, because preventative care today isn't doing it for us.
@cwhogg Our belief, which has been a contrarian view historically, is there are savings (through high quality care) in the commercial space. Furthermore, rising and variable prices for self-insured employers presents an opportunity that doesn't exist in Medicare
@cwhogg There are also savings to be had day 1 in getting individuals to high-quality, independent advanced primary care. This opportunity has arisen from vertical integration of APCs by health systems: https://t.co/z46IqNIwI7
@cwhogg Total cost-of-care shared savings (similar to Medicare MSSP ACO programs). While average tenure at employers is only ~4 years, it is much longer for older populations (close to 10 years for 55-64 year olds), which is where most of the costs are.
Health care expenses are unsustainably high...
... but what can actually break the trend of ever rising costs?
Check out my latest article on the different strategies employer-sponsored health plans can take to address this challenge. 👇

We spend trillions on defence. Yet it wasn't a missile that brought down the world economy.
#COVID19 should be an eye opener for how we prioritize spending on #publichealth.
Amazing to see @MaxRhodesOK getting the band back together at @Faire_Wholesale, with the addition of our new COO @kolovson (ex-@Opendoor@Square). 🙌
A world class team is assembling at Faire, and we're still hiring! DM me if you're interested.📈

Data hoarding is not a long term business model
Platforms will eventually enter the space an enable a new services layer to be built that look more like a third party development ecosystem
Competing with big companies for talent is ridiculously hard, but startups do have the very real advantage of being able to take bets on unproven people in a way big companies usually can’t.
@atulbutte I could not agree more and know of a company that could help 😀. Healthcare will hopefully be as data driven as the tech industry - just a decade later
