Their origin stories double as a primer on the forces shaping American healthcare: Medicaid enrollment battles, the dual-eligible population, hospice and palliative care, and the Affordable Care Act's unfinished promises.

From there, Edo and Caroline zero in on two mega-themes they believe will dominate the next decade: coverage preservation in the face of Medicaid changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and Medicare's shift toward non-medical supports delivered in the home and community. They then preview future episodes that will feature in-depth conversations on these and other topics, with experts from across the industry.

If you want to understand why so many of today's healthcare headlines feel like déjà vu, this conversation lays the groundwork.
