Policy shifts, market pressures, and rising healthcare costs are redefining what it means to lead in U.S. healthcare.
In this episode of The Leadership Lab podcast, Asbel Montes sits down with Loren Adler, healthcare economist at the Brookings Institution, to explore how evidence-based policy, innovative financing strategies, and pragmatic leadership can shape a more resilient and equitable healthcare system. From legislative updates to market dynamics, Loren shares insights into the risks and opportunities facing healthcare finance executives, policymakers, and operational leaders today.
Asbel and Loren unpack how to balance cost containment with access, adopt reforms that truly serve patients and providers, and navigate the tensions of consolidation, coverage cliffs, and insurance market shifts. They discuss how data-driven decision-making, competitive strategies, and thoughtful policy innovation can protect patients, strengthen risk pools, and foster systemic improvements.

The promise and pitfalls of Health Savings Accounts, premium tax credits, and market-based reforms
Why consolidation drives costs without improving outcomes—and what leaders can do
Key lessons from the No Surprises Act and ongoing gaps in patient protection
