Podcast appearances and mentions of Oscar Health

Nick Reber, CEO and founder of Garner Health, joins Jacob and Nikhil to walk through what is arguably one of the most structurally underrated problems in American healthcare: that the single biggest driver of cost and quality variation isn't which hospital system you use or whether your plan is value-based — it's which individual doctor you see. Nick traces the intellectual journey from his time at Oscar Health, where he first encountered 4x variation in complication rates across physicians at the same brand-name institutions, to building Garner's core infrastructure: a dataset of 320 million patients used to score every doctor in the country on quality-adjusted outcomes, layered on top of existing employer health plans with financial incentives to steer patients toward top performers. The episode drops alongside the announcement of Garner's Series E with Index Ventures, valuing the company at approximately $2.7 billion. The conversation covers the technical depth required to actually measure physician quality fairly (and why existing methodologies are fundamentally flawed), why value-based care has largely failed and what actually moves patient behavior, how AI will reshape the front door of healthcare, what it will take for AI health companies to build durable businesses beyond 2030, and why the solution to the US healthcare cost crisis may be as simple — and as politically hard — as treating it like a corporate expense policy.   (0:00) Intro (0:30) Garner's Origin Story (2:05) Doctor Choice Is the Biggest Lever (3:45) How Garner Works (5:43) Why Old Scoring Methods Failed (7:39) The Knee Pain Problem (11:58) Consumer UX, Incentives, and AI (33:44) How Much Spend Can AI Actually Touch?

"If financial services and healthcare are 10 years behind everybody else from a technology adoption standpoint, insurance distribution is usually 10 years behind that." - Will JohnsonMy guest this week is Will Johnson, Founder and CEO of Gyde, who is building what he calls the first "AI-native" insurance brokerage. After spending a decade at Oscar Health, Will realized that while brokers are the critical "entry point to care," they are operating without the infrastructure needed to scale in the modern era.In this episode, we define exactly what "AI-native" means for an agency. It isn't just about buying software; it's a new holding company model that acquires agencies to deploy AI infrastructure - automating renewals and client service to effectively "triple the capacity" of the best brokers.We dive deep into the difference between the traditional "asset aggregation" model (roll-ups) and Gyde's "partner activation" model. Will also shares why Gyde raised a Series A just 14 weeks after launching and his moonshot vision to converge health insurance and wealth management into a single advisory role.If you are an agency owner feeling the ceiling of growth, this episode maps out what the next generation of distribution looks like.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Guests:  Louis DeStefano, Chief Growth Officer, Oscar Health Jon Van Der Veer, DO, Founder & CEO, Hy-Vee Health In this special HLTH interview, Bright Spots in Healthcare host Eric Glazer speaks with two leaders shaping one of the most innovative payer–provider–retail collaborations in the country: Louis DeStefano, Chief Growth Officer, Oscar Health Jon Van Der Veer, DO, Founder & CEO, Hy-Vee Health Together, Oscar Health and Hy-Vee Health are building a new kind of health plan, one that blends local access, convenient care, primary care-first design, and tech-enabled member experience. Think of it as a hybrid model: part direct primary care, part advanced digital platform, part community-rooted retail ecosystem. This conversation dives into how the two organizations are integrating brick-and-mortar clinics, urgent care, pharmacy, SDOH-friendly retail access, and Oscar's tech stack, including "Oswell," Oscar's AI-powered clinical support tool, to deliver a personalized and coordinated experience. Topics We Cover: Why healthcare must be local, convenient, and relationship-driven How the partnership blends a supermarket chain, primary care clinics, and a tech-enabled health plan into one member experience How ICHRA is opening new doors for employer-driven personalization The role of AI and tools like Oswell in interpreting labs, improving communication, and augmenting care What a modern, scalable direct primary care model could look like The 10-year vision for this collaboration and where it expands next This episode offers a first look into a payer–retail–provider model that could reshape consumer expectations, and redefine how employer-sponsored and individual coverage works in the coming decade.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton just can't be kept out of the headlines even when she's not physically able to attend events. On November 16, Dolly accepted her first Oscar—the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award—at the Academy's Governor Awards, delivered via a heartfelt video message filmed in Nashville. According to People and Cat Country, Parton beamed about being “blessed more than I ever dreamed possible,” with a touching nod to her charitable efforts, especially the Imagination Library project that's put 285 million books into kids' hands worldwide. Lily Tomlin, her legendary 9 to 5 co-star, presented the honor, solidifying a four-decade Hollywood friendship and giving a biographically critical moment of recognition for a lifetime of service.But Dolly's acceptance came under a health cloud. The Today Show and Global News both highlighted how Dolly has been open about experiencing recent health challenges, requiring her to postpone her much-hyped Las Vegas concert run at Caesars Palace. She addressed fans directly in multiple video appearances, explaining her absence not only from Vegas but also from a milestone Dollywood event, where the famed attraction was inducted into a Hall of Fame to mark its 40th year. While specifics about her condition remain private, her remarks radiate resilience, and nowhere on social media has she suggested these are anything but temporary setbacks.Despite these health issues, Dolly's work endures. The musical Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, featuring her original songs and that signature Dolly sparkle, kicked off a 2025 U.S. national tour this week with stops in over 20 cities. The production, as covered by DollyParton.com and the Carson Center's Broadway series materials, has been lauded by both cast and fans as a moving update of Dickens, reimagined through a distinctly Appalachian lens and aiming to become a new holiday tradition.Off the main stage, Dolly Parton's symphonic multimedia experience, Threads: My Songs in Symphony, brought orchestras and guest vocalists together in Raleigh for an immersive celebration of her songwriting legacy, complete with her on-screen narration. According to the North Carolina Symphony, the experience weaves performance, biography, and musical story in ways that continue to redefine country music's public profile.As for buzz, Dolly's social media has stayed focused on gratitude for her awards, boosting the tour's ticket sales, and reassuring fans that, as she herself put it, “the threads of my life are woven together through my songs.” There's plenty of tongue-wagging about her health, but not from Dolly herself; the legend is keeping it positive, visible, and, as always, deeply connected to the people. With an Oscar finally on her shelf, a Broadway-bound symphony, and a beloved Christmas tour underway, Dolly Parton remains as much a force of nature as Tennessee's own Smokies.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

After leading high-impact teams at Uber, Oscar Health, and even the U.S. Department of Treasury, Meghan Joyce stepped out on her own to tackle one of modern life's biggest bottlenecks: the endless “life admin” tasks stealing our time. As co-founder and CEO of Duckbill, she's building a human-first AI assistant that blends machine intelligence with real-world persistence to help people take back control of their days.In this conversation, Meghan shares the kitchen-table moment that sparked Duckbill, what she learned navigating hyper-growth cultures at Uber and Oscar, and why “human-in-the-loop” help is the future of productivity. She opens up about the mindset shift that made her leap from operator to founder, and how motherhood reshaped her leadership and boundaries.From early experiments that de-risked her idea to the values that now guide her team (“high standards, high support”), Meghan breaks down how she built a startup culture that balances speed with empathy. She also offers grounded advice on raising values-aligned capital, using AI without guilt, and redefining success for founders who want both ambition and presence.Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [02:37] The kitchen moment that sparked Duckbill [05:46] Lessons learned from Uber and Oscar Health [09:02] Why Duckbill blends AI efficiency with human touch [10:28] Knowing when it's time to leap into entrepreneurship [14:43] Early hiring decisions and how her leadership evolved [19:04] Defining company values and keeping them alive [26:17] Finding values-aligned investors and staying mission-driven [32:41] Using AI without guilt and redefining help [43:26] How motherhood reshaped her leadership and boundaries [48:37] Running low-stakes experiments before taking the leap [52:03] Lightning-round personal insights and closing reflectionResources Mentioned:Duckbill | WebsitePersonal History by Katharine Graham | Book or AudiobookFollow Meghan Joyce:Instagram: @meghanvjoyceLinkedIn: @meghanvjoycewww.getduckbill.comFollow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com

StretchDollar is transforming how small businesses approach employee health benefits by decoupling plan administration from funding. Rather than forcing all employees onto a single group plan, the platform allows employers to provide pre-tax monthly budgets that employees can use to purchase individual health plans they select and own themselves. In this episode, I spoke with Marshall Darr, Co-Founder and CEO of StretchDollar, about building a solution that addresses the unique challenges small businesses face in providing healthcare benefits. Topics Discussed: The limitations of traditional group health plans for small businesses under 50 employees How the 2020 IRS ruling on ICHRAs (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements) enabled new approaches StretchDollar's evolution from being their own first customer to serving diverse small businesses The company's cost-effective go-to-market strategy focused on inbound traffic and partnerships Building trust and brand credibility in a heavily regulated industry Optimizing content strategy for both traditional SEO and emerging LLM search traffic The decision to move away from paid marketing channels GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Become your own first customer to validate the solution: Marshall's team used StretchDollar internally from day one, with his co-founder in San Francisco wanting Kaiser while Marshall was in Pittsburgh where Kaiser wasn't available. This real-world constraint validated their core value proposition. Rather than compromising on a "Frankenstein sort of national but very small group plan," they gave everyone $500 monthly budgets. B2B founders should consider how their own operational needs can serve as the initial proof point for their solution. SMB markets require ruthless cost-effectiveness in go-to-market: Marshall learned from Gusto that targeting small businesses demands extremely cost-effective acquisition strategies. With much smaller annual contract values than enterprise clients, "you need to rely a lot on inbound traffic, a lot on customer-to-customer referrals." B2B founders in SMB markets must build products compelling enough that customers actively recommend them, as traditional enterprise sales models don't work economically. Industry expertise enables superior content marketing: StretchDollar's content strategy works because Marshall spent years as a health insurance broker, selling "hundreds of group policies, hundreds to thousands of individual policies." This deep domain knowledge allows them to create genuinely useful content that attracts both traditional search traffic and increasingly, LLM-generated referrals. B2B founders should leverage their industry expertise to create content that demonstrates unique insights rather than generic advice. Paid marketing can be a distraction from fundamentals: Marshall's team discovered that stopping paid marketing resulted in only "a very marginal sort of drop in signups" while freeing up "tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars." The shift forced them to focus more on content quality and organic growth. For SMB-focused B2B founders, paid channels may be "so optimized right now that you need an insane budget and really good unit economics" to compete effectively. Self-service onboarding becomes competitive advantage: Drawing from Mercury's banking experience, Marshall realized SMB customers want to "knock this out" in 20 minutes without extensive sales calls. StretchDollar built their platform to allow self-onboarding while maintaining sales support for those who prefer it. B2B founders should consider how self-service capabilities can differentiate their solution while improving unit economics.

My guest today is Mark Bertolini. Mark is the former CEO of Aetna and the current CEO of Oscar Health. He shares one of the most extraordinary leadership stories I've encountered—surviving a catastrophic skiing accident that left him in chronic pain for 18 years while simultaneously leading one of healthcare's most successful corporate turnarounds. His personal experience navigating his son's life-threatening cancer battle and his own medical challenges fundamentally changed his approach to healthcare, leading to innovations in employee welfare that Wall Street initially questioned but ultimately celebrated. During his tenure at Aetna, Mark generated 652% total shareholder return by implementing revolutionary employee policies and is now applying these lessons at Oscar Health to disrupt the $4 trillion healthcare industry with a technology-first approach. We discuss the power of servant leadership, employer-sponsored insurance vs individual choice-based plans, and the horizons of healthcare. Please enjoy this incredible conversation with Mark Bertolini.

Oscar Health NYSE (OSCR) was supposed to revolutionize health insurance. Instead, it became a poster child for unprofitable tech IPOs; burning through cash and investor goodwill like kindling. But something weird happened on the way to irrelevance: the business quietly started working. Real profit. Better margins. Grown-up leadership. In this episode, I dive deep into Oscar's transformation. What's real, what's still risky, and whether the market is missing the plot. No hype. Just an honest breakdown of a company that might not be a joke anymore.Want to support Global Value? https://www.interactivebrokers.com/mkt/?src=gvp1&url=%2Fen%2Fwhyib%2Foverview.phphttps://www.patreon.com/GlobalValueThank you for watching. ❤️ Please support the channel by checking out our affiliates.

The hosts touch upon an unnamed president's high approval ratings and how their decisions influence market dynamics.This clip provides a critical lens on Oscar Health's struggles. With humor, the hosts dismiss its long-term investment potential, comparing its low net income unfavorably to high-earning individuals, emphasizing the importance of careful investment choices.Tune in to gain valuable insights and equip yourself with the knowledge to make informed investment decisions, even amidst a challenging economic landscape.*Hashtags:* #InvestingStrategies #RecessionProof #StockMarket #Amazon #Netflix #TSMC #Costco #HealthcareMarkets #OscarHealth #FinancialGrowth #MarketInsightsOur Sponsors:* Check out NerdWallet: https://www.nerdwallet.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
