Foley Hoag Partner and Co-Chair of the Healthcare Department Edo Banach contributed to the Alliance for Health Policy's 2025 Signature Seminar on the Future of Health Insurance. The Alliance for Health Policy released two reports from the 2025 Signature Seminar:
- The insights report is based on a series of listening sessions with health policy experts inside and out of government, who shed light on the areas of interest and promise in health insurance policy. Using a version of the systems thinking "iceberg" framework, the report identifies high-visibility issues—like affordability, prior authorization, Medicare Advantage, and pharmacy benefit managers—while also surfacing underlying trends, system issues, and fundamental questions.
- The seminar report summarizes findings from two workshops that convened more than 40 experts and stakeholders to advise on and develop resources that help congressional staff navigate health insurance policy. The first workshop focused on co-creating a congressional curriculum on health insurance, defining essential learning goals and interactive approaches to help staffers gain clarity. The second workshop tackled jargon and misused terms—such as "managed care," "cost-sharing," and "value-based care"—and developed an outline of a scenario-based guide to help staff apply this knowledge in practice.
