Oscar Health CEO Mark Bertolini just wrapped his keynote at Medicarians, outlining our vision to build the consumer marketplace of the future.
Mark’s message was clear: By moving away from rigid, legacy structures and toward a transparent, consumer-driven marketplace powered by Lucie, we can transform healthcare for 250 million Americans.
🟠 Consumerism drives down costs. Healthcare is now the largest household expense, and Mark believes individual choice is the only way to manage it . "Healthcare is now the largest line item in the household budget above cars, homes, education," Mark said. "People should be able to find what they can afford and find better deals so they can buy more. That’s where we take healthcare with Lucie.”
🟠 Transparency cures waste: Lucie is designed to give healthcare the same market efficiencies found in every other industry. “Consumers drive out all inefficiencies in the marketplace. They can do that in healthcare too. We just have to give them a transparent marketplace to do it," Mark said. "That’s where Lucie comes in.”
🟠 The individual market is bigger than the ACA: The goal is to move beyond the ACA exchanges to revolutionize how all 250 million Americans access care. “We can use the individual market model to transform the entire healthcare market across employer benefits, Medicaid, and even Medicare," Mark said. "We can turn every consumer into an individual buyer and convert this market into the largest healthcare market.”
