Torie Nugent-Peterson

In this episode of Listening In (With Permission), Andréa connects with Kristof Stremikis, Director, Market Analysis and Insights at the California Healthcare Foundation, for a candid exploration of Medicaid’s evolving landscape and its surprising relevance to the employer-sponsored insurance market.

Stremikis, whose work centers on improving healthcare for lower-income Californians, offers an insider’s perspective on the major federal changes looming over Medicaid—and what they could mean for states, providers, and employers across the country. From the mechanics of “churn” between Medicaid and employer coverage to the ripple effects of funding cuts, this conversation unpacks the complexities behind the headlines and makes a compelling case for why every benefits leader should be paying attention.
