218 - From Budget Buster to Loyalty Builder - Rethinking Employer Health Plans with Allison De Paoli

Allison De Paoli joins Craig Andrews to break down how employers can lead through one of the most neglected aspects of their business—health insurance. Drawing from decades of experience and her family’s entrepreneurial legacy, Allison shows how leaders can stop hemorrhaging money on bloated health plans and start using benefits as a tool for retention, loyalty, and long-term cost control.

She argues the system isn’t broken—it’s rigged. But with the right strategy, employers can bypass middlemen, reclaim fiduciary control, and offer high-quality care without budget blowouts. Allison walks through real-world examples of employers who’ve turned skyrocketing premiums into savings—without shifting the cost burden onto employees.

If you lead a team and think better healthcare is out of reach, this episode will challenge that belief—and give you a roadmap to lead differently.
