Employers sit at the center of the U.S. health system as the primary funders of coverage for more than 150 million Americans, yet they struggle with rising costs, fragmented vendors, and uneven outcomes. In this episode, we talk with Dan Mendelson, MPP, CEO of Morgan Health at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Founder and former CEO of Avalere Health. We explore his journey from health policy to now leading Morgan Health’s efforts to improve the quality, affordability and equity of employer-sponsored healthcare. We’ll learn how Morgan Health evaluates the employer market, where they’re placing investment bets, and how they are testing new care models inside JPMorgan’s own benefit. We then turn to Washington: Dan shares his take on the policy currents that matter most for employers and innovators over the next few years.
