Jamie Greenleaf, Principal at Cafaro Greenleaf, admits that the focus of her practice changed significantly after she agreed to help a client with a project. “I was a typical consultant who says yes to helping a client with anything before we really know what it means.” Join Ross Marino as he chats with Jamie about the expertise she has gained, why she thinks the healthcare system is broken, and how it is affecting the ability for employers to control costs. Hear about Jamie’s research into the over-insuring tendencies of participants, the effect of the lack of transparency of medical costs, and the operational health plan designs that cause participants to behave the way they do. Is total disruption in the industry what is needed? Where does Jamie see most participants having a complete blind spot when it comes to healthcare costs? Why does Jamie think participants need to learn to become consumers of healthcare, and what does that mean for the advisor having conversations with plan sponsors? Don’t miss this information-packed episode with one of our industry veterans!
