The Value Formula

The American healthcare system is broken. Employers have the power to fix it.

For decades, employers have shouldered rising healthcare costs while watching their employees struggle to access, afford, and navigate care. Value has eroded. Trust has fractured. And traditional strategies have run their course.

The Value Formula delivers a bold, practical roadmap for change. Drawing on two decades of experience, policy insight, and markettested strategies, this book shows how employers can:

• Deploy value-based benefit designs that actually steer to high performing providers
• Align with alternative payment models to reward better care, not just more of it
• Overcome the hidden barriers—like HSA limitations and data gag clauses—that stall innovation
• Drive a self-reinforcing cycle that lowers costs, improves outcomes, and reshapes the market
Backed by real-world case studies, clear policy guidance, and a call to action that speaks directly to business leaders, this is not just another book about healthcare reform. It’s a guide for those ready to lead it.
