Our hosts Aaron Holman, an instructor in the Department of Health Policy and Management and second year Master's student Gabriella Garcia speak with Caroline about the current state of employer sponsored insurance (ESI) and some of her latest research on what is working, what is not working, and how employers can continue to offer high value care to their employees while also helping to reduce healthcare cost growth.
