As part of the Future of Texas series in partnership with Texas 2036, this episode tackles one of the most urgent and personal challenges facing Texans today: the rising cost of healthcare. Through the Future of Texas podcast series, Texas 2036 brings together diverse perspectives as we explore the opportunities and challenges facing our state over the next ten years. The views expressed in this program are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Texas 2036, its staff or its Board of Directors. Host Brad Swail is joined by Avik Roy, Co-Founder and Chairman of FREOPP, and Charles Miller, Director of Health and Economic Mobility Policy at Texas 2036, for a deep dive into why healthcare costs keep rising — and what Texas can actually do about it. The conversation begins with a stark reality: healthcare affordability has become a top concern for voters, even surpassing issues like property taxes. With employer-sponsored family coverage approaching $27,000 per year and out-of-pocket costs averaging around $10,000 annually for Texas families, the financial strain is reshaping both household budgets and business decisions. A major theme is how the current system distorts incentives. Rather than functioning as a true free market, U.S. healthcare operates as a heavily subsidized system where consumers often lack visibility into prices — and have little control over spending decisions. The discussion covers: • Why healthcare costs are rising faster than wages and inflation • How employer-based insurance distorts consumer incentives • The role of federal tax policy in shaping today's system • Why “free market vs government” is a false choice • The importance of competition, transparency, and aligned incentives • How monopoly power among hospitals and providers drives prices higher • Why past reforms — like surprise billing laws — sometimes backfire • The impact of vertical and horizontal consolidation in healthcare • How anti-competitive contracting limits consumer choice • Why Texas has made progress on transparency — but more is needed The episode also explores solutions that could reshape the Texas healthcare landscape. These include expanding price transparency, tackling provider monopolies, enabling more consumer-driven insurance models, and supporting innovative alternatives like direct payment systems and healthcare sharing models. Roy and Miller highlight promising developments already underway in Texas, including efforts to improve data transparency through all-payer claims databases and reforms targeting anti-competitive practices in provider contracts. Looking ahead, the goal isn't perfection — it's progress. Both guests emphasize that simply slowing the growth of healthcare costs to match inflation would represent a major win for Texas families and businesses. The takeaway is clear: the tools to fix healthcare affordability exist — but meaningful reform will require aligning incentives, increasing competition, and taking on entrenched interests within the system. 00:00 — Intro + Future of Texas series overview 00:30 — Why healthcare affordability matters now 01:13 — Cost of employer-sponsored coverage explained 02:00 — National vs Texas-specific cost challenges 03:12 — Texas vs California healthcare cost comparison 04:21 — Why affordability is now a top voter issue 05:21 — 53% cost increase over the past decade 06:41 — Why Texas policy drives higher costs 07:28 — Surprise billing reform and unintended consequences 08:24 — Incentives that drive price inflation 09:53 — Free market vs government: a false debate 10:14 — Why U.S. healthcare isn't truly a free market 11:17 — Employer-based insurance and tax distortions 12:23 — Why consumers don't behave like shoppers 13:23 — What a “healthy market” actually requires 14:17 — Transparency, competition, and incentives explained 15:25 — How subsidies can increase costs 16:09 — Insurance incentives and rising premiums 17:19 — Lack of price transparency in real-world care 17:58 — Switzerland as a model system 19:10 — Competition vs monopoly power in healthcare 20:29 — Real-world example: pricing distortions 21:42 — Hospital consolidation and market power 23:04 — Hospital Competition Act explained 25:02 — Why regulators struggle to fix consolidation 27:08 — Federal vs local enforcement gaps 29:33 — What Texas has done right so far 30:13 — Transparency reforms and data systems 31:05 — Anti-competitive contracting reforms 32:33 — Vertical integration and its risks 34:07 — What Texas still needs to fix 35:14 — Consumer-driven insurance models (ICHRA) 36:01 — Alternatives to traditional insurance 37:26 — Cash pricing and cost savings 38:04 — State employee health plans as a reform lever 40:31 — What success looks like by 2036 42:10 — Slowing cost growth as the first win 43:18 — Final thoughts + closing Watch Full-Length Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@TexasTalks

Thinking about retirement? You might want to budget more for health care than you'd expect. A recent Wall Street Journal article highlights three big costs retirees tend to underestimate. In this video, Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy walk through these 3 (often overlooked) medical costs. They are: 1️⃣ Medications – especially new or non-generic prescriptions 2️⃣ Medical Isolation – higher costs in areas with limited access to care 3️⃣ Concierge Care – in some markets, doctors aren't accepting Medicare and instead are charging an annual fee (averaging $3,500) to be seen In retirement, healthcare isn't just about insurance. It's about planning ahead.

CrowdHealth is revolutionizing healthcare by creating a community-funded alternative to traditional insurance, where members pay cash for medical services at significantly lower rates while maintaining high-quality care.KISMETWhile most would assume large insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare (the 7th largest company by revenue globally) would negotiate the best rates, CrowdHealth members are actually securing medical procedures at about 50% of what insurance companies pay - typically around 130-140% of Medicare rates compared to insurance companies' 250-300%.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this compelling interview, Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, explains how his company is disrupting traditional healthcare financing. After a personal experience with insurance denying coverage for his daughter's medical procedure, Schoonover discovered that paying cash for healthcare services often costs significantly less than using insurance. CrowdHealth now serves 10,000 members who fund each other's healthcare needs, having processed 20,000 bills over three years. Members typically pay half what traditional insurance costs, without networks or complex paperwork. The company has successfully handled major medical events, including a $1 million emergency that was negotiated down to $200,000. CrowdHealth is also pioneering a new approach to wellness by offering discounts to metabolically healthy members, creating financial incentives for maintaining good health. The community aspect encourages members to make cost-conscious healthcare decisions, as they're helping fellow members rather than faceless insurance companies.Contact info for Andy SchoonoverInvitee Email: andy@joincrowdhealth.comTwitter: https://x.com/JoinCrowdHealthInstagram: @joincrowdhealthWebsite: www.joincrowdhealth.comLinkedIn: CrowdHealthSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Every year, thousands of Native Americans are going without the health care they're entitled to or are risking costly medical bills for treatment that should be covered. A new report by KFF Health News focuses on the Purchased/Referred Care program in which patients seek outside treatment that IHS doesn't offer. The report says the PRC program denied more than $550 million in payment requests from outside medical facilities in 2022, putting patients on the hook financially. Some tribes with resources are able to establish tribally-run care. Others are working on tribal health insurance programs. We'll get a look at the problem facing those relying on IHS, and what can be done to solve it.

Have you considered the true cost of healthcare for women, especially in the face of widowhood? Forbes reports that women pay nearly $15 billion more than men in health costs. In this episode of Financially Ever After, host Stacy Francis is joined by Beth Battaglino, the CEO of Healthy Women, and Deb Gordon, the co-founder of Umbra Health Advocacy. Together, they discuss the significant challenges widows face in healthcare, including hidden and unexpected expenses that can cause severe financial strain. Financial education and proactivity is crucial, along with support from caring experts and advocates, so that you can empower yourself with physical and financial health. The widowhood effect highlights the increased risk of mortality and prolonged illnesses that women face after losing a spouse, emphasizing the importance of healthcare and preventative care. Women pay much more for healthcare than men, with women paying more out of pocket due to differences in utilization patterns and services needed. It is crucial to seek help and ask for assistance in navigating healthcare costs and bills, and take full advantage of the resources available to help reduce financial burdens and provide support. You can make informed decisions about your healthcare and ensure you are adequately covered if you understand health insurance coverage and benefits. There are numerous experts and advocates who will stand by your side. Utilizing healthcare flex spending accounts and health savings accounts can help women save money on healthcare expenses and plan for future medical needs. Hiring patient advocates or utilizing the services of organizations like the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates can provide expert assistance in managing medical bills and navigating the healthcare system.

"When consumers understand that they can get the same level of care at half the price, they feel good about making that decision." - Josh Schreiner “We're actually going to collapse that concept entirely. Everyone's in network from your perspective, from the consumer, from the patient perspective." - Michael Mather Continuing from last week's theme of compliance and regulation, Josh Schreiner, Chief Product Officer, and Michael Mather, General Counsel, of HealthEZ joined me for a discussion on the effects of the No Surprises Act on the healthcare industry as a whole, and how it affects consultants as they work with employers. At HealthEZ, Josh and Michael have been looking ahead to the future of healthcare and how the recent regulations have impacted that, including a returned focus to consumer decisions in their own healthcare and an increased focus on employer compliance. For consultants, these are particularly important topics as consultant responsibilities shift in response to the legislation. Join Josh, Michael, and I as we break down the No Surprises Act, offering our insights and hopefully some practical guidance on navigating this crucial piece of healthcare legislation.

"If we can take that [financial] anxiety away from them to where they can focus on their health, that's our mission, that's our cause. That's what we want to do." - Brett Morris Brett Morris joins me on the podcast for a conversation revolving around the Samaritan Fund Program, which he developed to help those individuals and families who have been physically and financially devastated by a medical diagnosis. He directly works with employers and employees, helping to mitigate high-cost medical expenses on the employer's end while enabling them to help their employees when they most need it. An interesting side effect of the Samaritan Fund is that it enables employers who would otherwise go fully insured due to specific high-cost claims to afford self funding their business. Join us on today's show as we talk about the human impact of the Samaritan Fund and Brett's unique approach to helping employees and employers.

Anupam Bapu Jena, MD, PhD, is the Joseph P. Newhouse Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and a physician in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is also a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As an economist and physician, Dr. Jena's research involves several areas of health economics and policy including the use of natural experiments in health care, the economics of physician behavior and the physician workforce, medical malpractice, the economics of health care productivity, and the economics of medical innovation. We talk about the natural experiments that he uses in economics to move medicine forward, what the pandemic has taught him about how people make their health decisions. We also talk about the limited impact that value-based care and price transparency have had and how this is unlikely to change any time soon. Dr. Jena graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his MD and PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago and completed his residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is the host of the Freakonomics, MD podcast, which explores the “hidden side of healthcare.” Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, the authors of Freakonomics have only given the Freakonomics name to someone once before in the Freakonomics movie, which demonstrates how much esteem they have for Dr. Jena.
