Eileen McAnenny, the driving force behind the Employer Coalition on Health in Massachusetts shares her journey from a typical Irish Catholic home in Somerville (before it was fashionable) to a leader in healthcare policy and cost management.
Discover how her roots and influential figures like Tip O'Neill and the Kennedys shaped her passion for public service, leading to a law career and roles at the Bank of New England, the Joint Committee on Taxation, and beyond. Eileen's insights on employer engagement in healthcare costs and her work with the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation illuminate the challenges and opportunities in controlling this major business expense.
As healthcare costs in Massachusetts continue to balloon, smaller businesses are feeling the pinch more than ever.
This episode delves into the complexities of managing healthcare costs, especially in a state where large healthcare employers wield significant political influence. We explore the role of employer coalitions in bringing balance to the conversation, representing the needs of those tasked with purchasing healthcare, and striving for sustainability against the backdrop of inflation and workforce shortages. Eileen's experience at Fidelity and her focus on employer-related policy issues provide a compelling narrative on the interplay between businesses and healthcare providers.
Host David E. Williams is president of healthcare strategy consulting firm Health Business Group. Produced by Dafna Williams.
