Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders
How a Tech-Minded CEO Sees the Future: CareFirst's Brian D. Pieninck on Medicare, Medicaid & the AI-Driven Inflection Point in Healthcare

Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders

Brian D. Pieninck didn't take a conventional path to healthcare leadership. He started his career as an 18-year-old IT contractor and spent two decades working across the industry before becoming President and CEO of CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield. He now also serves as Chair of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, bringing both local and national perspective to the role. In this episode, Keith Figlioli speaks with Pieninck about what it means to lead a not-for-profit regional payer at a time of seismic change. With 3.6 million members and coverage that spans commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid, CareFirst has become a vital part of healthcare access and infrastructure across the Mid-Atlantic. Pieninck reflects how demographic shifts, rising costs, and policy uncertainty are challenging how healthcare organizations evolve, while staying focused on long-term outcomes.  Pieninck and Keith discuss: Advancing health equity as part of the community. Pieninck sees CareFirst not just as a payer, but as part of the region's civic infrastructure, creating economic opportunities, delivering care through primary and urgent care locations, and supporting long-term health equity initiatives across Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Medicaid coverage and its downstream impact. With nearly half of children in Maryland and DC relying on Medicaid, Pieninck warns that cuts or disruptions don't reduce the need for care; they push it into higher-cost, less coordinated settings like emergency departments. The balloon effect in healthcare financing. As costs are squeezed in one area, they inflate in another. Pieninck challenges the idea that market forces can realign care efficiently. He discusses how efforts to contain spending in one area often lead to inefficiencies elsewhere, and the system ends up paying more later because early, lower-cost interventions are underfunded or inaccessible.  Innovation that simplifies the system. Through CareFirst's innovation arm, Healthworx, Pieninick highlights the need to design a system that works for people by reducing complexity and embedding support directly into the healthcare experience. AI and infrastructure: opportunity meets readiness. With nearly three decades of experience on the technology side of healthcare, Pieninck is bullish on AI's potential—especially now that it's available at a price point that can scale. Real progress, he notes, will depend on thoughtful governance, better interoperability, and models built around human needs. This episode offers a look at how one regional plan is thinking through the tensions between access, affordability and innovation, and what that means for the broader system.  To hear Brian D. Pieninck and Keith discuss these challenges in depth, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

America's health crisis is worse than you think. Calley Means, White House health adviser, joins James Poulos to discuss how corporate cronyism and corruption in the food and pharma industries are making Americans, especially children, more sick for profit. Means exposes how corporate lobbying and financial incentives poison Americans. Our food system has been weaponized to be addictive, contributing to skyrocketing rates of obesity, chronic disease, and mental health decline. The COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and information censorship showed the dangers of centralized health authority and gave rise to the MAHA movement. The Trump administration is changing the way we see scientific transparency and health freedoms with the appointments of Jay Bhattacharya to the NIH and RFK Jr. to HHS. Means argues we need to incentivize health and shift government programs like Medicare/Medicaid and food stamps to healthier alternatives. Learn more about your ad choices.

TRAILERWelcome to episode 79 of the One for the Money podcast. I am always glad and grateful you have taken the time to listen. This part 1 of a 2 part series on Medicare. Medicare is a significant part of every single American's retirement planning. Knowledge of Medicare is critical to making the most of your retirement. In this episode I'll share what you need to understand about Medicare and in Episode 80 airing on February 15th, I'll share the Misunderstandings and Mistakes people make with Medicare.In the tips, tricks, and strategies portion I will share a tip regarding Medicare enrollment.In this episode...Rising Healthcare Costs [1:53]Medicare Basics [2:57]Importance of Annual Medicare Reviews [12:03]MAINIn Episode 79 of the One for the Money podcast, I shared how the first wealth is health. I also shared the importance of exercise and nutrition and how they can increase not only one's life span, but their health span, which is the years one has good health. Because healthier retirees incur fewer health related expenses it really is in retirees long term financial interest to INVEST in their health because health care related expenses in retirement are WAY higher than what most people anticipate.In fact last August, the investment company Fidelity released its Fidelity's latest Retiree Health Care Cost Estimate, which surveyed retirees. Most individuals surveyed expect their share of health care related expenses in retirement to be ~ $75,000 retirement (or $150k per couple), but current retiree healthcare expense data shows that each individual should expect to pay $165,000 or $330k/couple in retirement for health care expenses. That is more than double what people estimate they will have to shell out. Now these estimates assume that these individuals have health care coverage through Medicare. This might have many scratching their heads wondering what Medicare actually pays for. Quite a lot actually, it's just that health care is incredibly expensive especially as one ages.I'll first explain what Medicare is and what it takes to be eligible before explaining why health care costs in retirement are still expensive even with Medicare. Medicare is health insurance for retired Americans. According to usdebtclock.org, the the US government spent ~ $1.8 Trillion dollars on Medicare/Medicaid in 2024 which accounts for over 25% of the annual Federal budget. Some of Medicare is paid for through payroll taxes. Employees pay 1.45% of their income and employers pay another 1.45% of their employees income to the government to help fund Medicare and Medicaid. These are part of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or (FICA) taxes that we pay on our income. Social Security is funded with a tax of 6.2% paid by the employee and another 6.2% paid by the employer. However this is only paid on the first $176,100 of income. Any income earned above that level is not subject to the SS tax, and that's because there is an upper limit on the social security benefit one could receive. However, the 1.45% medicare tax has no income limit so whether a person earns income of $10,000 or $10 million the Medicare taxes are applied to the entire amount. Now Medicare has been around for a long time. In 1935: President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal included the Social Security Act, which provided retirement benefits but did not include health insurance. Efforts to include health coverage in the program were unsuccessful due to political opposition.By the 1960s, about half of Americans over 65...

The operation, conducted on Jan. 16-17, focused on Georgia’s “Move Over” law, requiring drivers to change lanes or slow down near emergency vehicles. Over five hours, officers made 51 traffic stops, issuing 15 “Move Over” citations, 29 speeding citations, and 26 other violations, along with one DUI arrest. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about highway safety and the risks officers face during nighttime traffic enforcement.

Passionate about math, science, and technology's societal impact, he views this achievement as part of his "redemption arc" and hopes to inspire others. Sponsored by the Technical College System of Georgia, the GOAL program highlights technical education's value. Schoolcraft will compete in regional and statewide competitions this spring. STORY 3: Six Flags to Spotlight State’s Gold Rush History with New Ride Six Flags Over Georgia is set to debut a new family attraction, Georgia Gold Rusher, this spring. Inspired by Georgia’s 1885 gold rush, the ride features free-spinning gondola seating, 590 feet of U-shaped track, high-speed launches up to 60 mph, a 144-foot peak, and a dynamic water splash element. Themed around prospector William “Willy” Gibson, the ride integrates storytelling and immersive décor into the park’s historic Lickskillet section.

Bill talks with the well-respected Health Policy reporter Sandhya Raman of CQ-Roll Call to get a sense of what Trump's nominees in the health field means for our health and healthcare. There are serious concerns raised by leading health professionals about Donald Trump's nominations to lead major health agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and others. The main concerns are that many of Trump's nominees lack prior experience in public health or healthcare policy, and some have controversial views on issues like vaccines and reproductive rights that could jeopardize public health. In particular, the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary is highly controversial, as he is a well-known anti-vaxxer who could slow down the approval and distribution of vaccines, putting public health at risk. Other concerning nominees include Dr. Mehmet Oz for Medicare/Medicaid, and Dr. David Weldon for the CDC, who have expressed skepticism about vaccines and abortion rights. There are some guardrails that Congress could try to use to block or limit the ability of these nominees to implement harmful policies, but with a Republican trifecta in Washington, their options may be limited. Overall, the transcript suggests that the health of the nation could be in jeopardy under the Trump administration's health policy team, with potential impacts on vaccine distribution, maternal mortality rates, and access to reproductive healthcare.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by National Nurses United, the largest labor union of Nurses in America.

Today, we are celebrating the 59th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid being signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson and discussing the profound effect these programs have had in providing health care coverage to the country's most vulnerable populations.Medicare and Medicaid laid the foundation for public health insurance in the United States, ensuring that the elderly, low-income families, and individuals with disabilities receive essential health care services. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2010, built upon this foundation by expanding Medicaid eligibility, providing subsidies lower-income individuals and families to purchase private insurance on exchanges, and implementing protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA have created a more comprehensive safety net for millions of Americans, significantly reducing the uninsured rate and improving access to care.Our guest, Larry Levitt, oversees policy work on Medicaid, Medicare, the ACA, and the health care marketplace for one of the nation's leading health policy organizations. Larry's extensive knowledge will guide us through the following topics:·         Medicaid Coverage: Expansion and post-pandemic redeterminations in the states;·         Evolution of the ACA: The development and impact of enhanced subsidies;·         ACA Challenges: Addressing concerns about bad actors and program issues; and·         Future of Coverage: Insights on the upcoming election and its implications for health care coverage. More: Larry Levitt is the executive vice president for health policy, overseeing KFF's policy work on Medicare, Medicaid, the health care marketplace, the Affordable Care Act, racial equity, women's health, and global health. He previously was editor-in-chief of kaisernetwork.org, which was KFF's online health policy news and information service and directed KFF's communications. Prior to joining KFF, Levitt served as a senior health policy adviser to the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services, working on the development of the Clinton Administration's Health Security Act and other health policy initiatives. Earlier, he was the special assistant for health policy with California Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi, a medical economist with Kaiser Permanente, and served in a number of positions in Massachusetts state government. Levitt holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master's degree in public policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

This is especially true of Medicaid/Medicare recipients such as children, older adults, and low income communities who bear the brunt of health issues from climate change. The Center's new Decarbonization and Resilience Initiative aims to understand the scope of the problem and identify creative solutions by collecting, monitoring, assessing, and addressing hospital carbon emissions and their effects on health outcomes, costs, and quality. Guest: Purva Rawal is the chief strategy officer at the CMS Innovation Center at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
