In its pilot episode, Insuring Growth features Dr. Makayla Lavender, health economist and assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Lee Business School, who unpacks the sweeping policy shifts already underway with the Trump administration. From changes to ACA subsidies and auto-enrollment to Medicaid work requirements and Medicare Advantage audit expansions, Dr. Lavender outlines how these decisions will upend workflows, confuse customers, and drive a new level of complexity for carriers and health plan leaders. She also explores what industry professionals can expect in 2026 and beyond-from STM rule reversals to Rx price transparency and shifting Marketplace risk pools. She even makes time for such diverse topics as the expansion of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs), penalties for states covering immigrants, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as the core policy engine.
“These aren't theoretical changes,” said McLoughlin. “They're operational and financial shocks to the system-and they're already starting to ripple across the value chain. We launched this show to help leaders stay informed, focused, and ready.”
Throughout the season, Insuring Growth will feature healthcare and insurance executives and thought leaders tackling the most pressing issues facing the industry today, including shaping revenue and distribution strategy, plan design, and technology driven innovation. The podcast is designed for a wide range of professionals – from senior carrier decision-makers and technology leaders to distribution partners and agents – all responsible for accelerating revenue, managing risk, and adapting to constant change within health insurance.
With more than 35 years of experience at the intersection of healthcare, tech, and business strategy, McLoughlin brings a sharp, practical lens to every episode. A frequent industry speaker, he recently led a panel of senior health insurance experts at Medicarians 2025, discussing the Trump administration's evolving healthcare agenda, and delivered a session on strategic revenue management within health insurance distribution.
With open enrollment just a few months away, listeners can get and stay ahead of political, regulatory, social, and industry changes with Insuring Growth. The insights, context, and clarity from changemakers and thought leaders are what the industry needs to deliver impact while addressing challenges faced by boardroom executives down to kitchen table agents.
