Whether Health Care M&A is Cooked Or Not w/ Bob Herman

Let us know what you think about Health Affairs podcasts at [email protected]. If you have 30 minutes to spare, let us know and we'll set up a 30-minute chat for the first 20 listeners that reach out. Coffee will be on us.

Health Affairs' Jeff Byers welcomes Bob Herman of STAT News to the program to discuss the state of deals in the health care space, how vertical integration and consolidation have played a role in mergers & acquisitions as it relates to hospitals, and what might fly under the radar from even the most savvy of health policy wonks.

Health Affairs Insiders can join us April 23 for an exclusive virtual event exploring site-neutral payments with health economist and health services researcher Brady Post of Northeastern University and Health Affairs' Meg Winchester.

Also, we are hosting another Insider exclusive event on May 29 focusing on the FDA's first 100 days under the second Trump administration featuring moderator Rachel Sachs alongside panelists Richard Hughes IV and Arti Rai.
