With the Medicare Advantage craze cooling, attention is quickly turning to Medicaid as the next potential growth driver in the expanding government-sponsored insurance market. While the Medicaid program continues to face ongoing coverage and reimbursement challenges, expansion in previous holdout states and the newfound ability to address social needs is igniting innovation. How do cross-industry leaders wading into the Medicaid market navigate the state-by-state differences to achieve scale? How do innovators successfully work with Medicaid members rather than build “solutions” for them? And will Medicaid be the launch pad for truly advancing health equity?

The capital markets remain in flux, creating new challenges for innovators and incumbents alike.

What is the 12- to 24-month outlook for capital markets? Will we see an uptick in health care M&A or IPO activity? How are capital challenges affecting the pipeline of life sciences, digital health, and care model innovations? And how is the widespread attraction to AI changing the investment landscape?
