Why Healthcare Costs Keep Rising
Description
Forget about the price of eggs. It’s healthcare costs that are rising fast. Double digit increases are coming for 2026 and cost sharing is rising for employees. Weight loss drugs like Ozempic are adding billions to the bill and AI is a wild card, which could bring costs down or make them rise even faster.
In this episode, David E. Williams and John Driscoll unpack what’s driving the rising cost of healthcare and what it means for the future.
