Notable Quotes

“We have created a system where we have entirely perverse incentives. You have a third party payer system. So who's really the consumer? Who's really the person who's actually communicating directly with the health system for care, and you have a fee for service. So how are we incentivizing quality of care, cost-effective care? We're actually just building on volume of care.” 

“What we're seeking to do is say, alright, healthcare has tried to change regulation in the United States for decades. You know, it's been incredibly slow. So what do we have to do? We have to create an ecosystem that actually empowers not the patience of the person.” 

“If we're going to empower people to consolidate, shouldn't we also give them the opportunity to decide what to do with it?” 

 "My hope is that we get really close to having healthcare data right in your wallet so that it's not only something that you can tap into here, gaining value from it, but you could sell your genomics data for tens of thousands of dollars."
