Episode: Blueprints for Better Benefits – How Triforta Is Fixing America’s Broken Healthcare System 

Host: Rodney Jr. 

Guest Expert: Rodney Sr., Founder & CEO of Triforta

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the rising costs, hidden mechanics, and overlooked opportunities inside America’s healthcare system. For decades, our team of actuaries, analysts, underwriters, and AI-engineers has been decoding the chaos employers face every renewal season. Today, we’re handing you the blueprint.

This conversation walks you through the forces driving year-over-year premium hikes, the truth behind BUCA-dominated fully insured plans, and the quieter budget-leaks hiding in pharmacy rebates and opaque claims practices. More importantly, we equip you with the strategies that actually work in the real world, strategies that help employers forecast, contain, and even reverse runaway medical spend.

You’ll hear how data-driven design, modern funding models, true risk management, and Triforta’s proprietary AI platform give forward-thinking employers a measurable advantage, often trimming 15–25% off total healthcare costs with better member experience, not worse.

If you’re an HR leader, operations executive, CFO, or business owner wondering whether there’s a smarter path forward, there is. And this episode spells it out step-by-step.
