  • Escaping the Big Box Cycle with Smarter Health Plans
    2025/12/03

    In this episode, Dr. John and Peter unpack the growing dilemma employers face as healthcare costs continue to rise at an unsustainable pace. Despite mounting pressure on budgets, many brokers still funnel employers toward the same Big Box health insurance carriers—often overlooking newer, more innovative plan options from smaller, regional insurers that can deliver better value.

    We explore why this happens, what employers aren’t being told, and how forward-thinking companies (like our own) are breaking the cycle by embracing modern solutions that prioritize transparency, flexibility, and real cost savings. This conversation sheds light on the shifts happening in the industry and empowers employers to make smarter, more informed decisions about their benefits strategy.
