Recent conversations about health care have highlighted a hard truth: the US health insurance system isn’t working, and often feels too complex to fix. But at the Clayton Christensen Institute, we see a way forward. We believe that understanding the root causes of challenges is the first step toward meaningful transformation. New research from Ann-Somers Hogg lifts the veils on the entrenched “how” and “why” of the current insurance system, while providing a roadmap for health care innovators and federal legislators to address the root causes of its inefficiencies. With clear strategies and actionable solutions, we believe lasting reform is within reach. Let’s turn this moment of uncertainty into action for innovation and equity. Health care innovators and policymakers: let’s build a system that delivers better health and financial outcomes for every American.

The rising cost of health care has left families, businesses, and individuals struggling. As conversations unfold, it’s easy to feel that meaningful change is out of reach. But there’s hope. New research from Ann-Somers Hogg “Zero-inflation health care: A national strategy for unlocking and scaling insurance innovation,” reveals the root causes of our health insurance dysfunction and presents a practical, scalable roadmap to transform the insurance landscape through #businessmodelinnovation and a new value network. By addressing these foundational issues, we aim to provide tools for health care innovators and policymakers to create a system that works for everyone—and delivers better health outcomes for all Americans. This isn’t just about understanding what’s wrong; it’s about empowering those with influence to create solutions that last. Real change isn’t just feasible—it’s likely when we come together with knowledge, vision, and a commitment to act. This is also the start of a conversation to change the national landscape, and we’d love for you to join it.

Disruption isn’t about creating tools that only a few can afford—it’s about fostering innovation that serves the many, argues Cecilia Marshall for Partnership for Education Advancement. HBCUs, with their track record of driving upward mobility, offer a powerful proving ground for AI-driven solutions tailored to underserved communities. At South Carolina State University, AI tools saved 400 hours of staff time, showing how operational efficiencies can amplify institutional impact. But AI’s role doesn’t end there—it must also address affordability and inclusion to prevent a new digital divide. By positioning HBCUs as leaders in AI development, we can create technology that reflects a higher purpose: mobility and equity for all.

Conversations about health insurance often focus on the symptoms of a broken system, but what about the root causes? At the Clayton Christensen Institute, Ann-Somers Hogg’s new research goes beyond diagnosing the problem—it maps a path to real, lasting solutions. And it starts with an Optimal Care business model—an insurance solution powered by a health intelligence platform. By addressing the systemic inefficiencies in US health insurance, our work aims to empower innovators and policymakers to create meaningful change. This isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about building a system that delivers better outcomes for all Americans. Together, and with a detailed business model roadmap and go-to-market strategies, we can move from conversation to action and from hope to progress. https://lnkd.in/g3yTiWnm #HealthCareInnovation #HealthIntelligence #BusinessModel #InsuranceReform #GovernmentCollaboration #PositiveAction
