Welcome to Reinventing Benefits

Something is off in employer healthcare benefits, and everyone in the room knows it.

Medical trend is up 10–15% again. Employers are spending more than ever on point solutions that employees don't use. Carriers are building "free" platforms that happen to steer members toward the carrier's own network. And most benefits leaders are making million-dollar decisions with less data than they'd accept for a marketing campaign.

The conversations happening behind closed doors — between benefits leaders, consultants, CFOs, and the people actually trying to fix this — are some of the most important conversations in American healthcare. But almost none of it makes it into public view.

That's what this site is for.

What you'll find here

Reinventing Benefits is an independent editorial platform covering the forces reshaping employer healthcare. Not vendor marketing. Not committee-written white papers. Not softball interviews. Direct, opinionated analysis from inside the conversation.

We're organized around six themes:

• Data Transparency — Employer data rights, CAA Section 201, and the end of information asymmetry
• The Point Solution Paradox — Why utilization stays at 3–8% and what actually moves the needle
• Healthcare Economics — The math behind medical trend, self-funding, GLP-1s, and high-cost claimants
• Carrier Conflicts — Incentive misalignment, the trust deficit, and the independence question
• What's Working — On-site clinics, centers of excellence, advanced primary care, navigation done right
• The Human Side — Health equity, the front-line worker problem, and why benefits work matters

Who this is for

If you're a VP of Benefits, a CHRO, a CFO looking at healthcare spend, a consultant advising employers, or anyone responsible for how an organization takes care of its people — this is your conversation.
