Episode 28 | Insights from Health Rosetta Fest 2025
In this episode of the Only Healthcare Podcast, hosts Randy Vogenberg, PhD, and Michael Navin unpack key insights from Health Rosetta Fest 2025, held in Denver, Colorado. This year’s event brought together more than 1,200 leaders across the healthcare ecosystem — from employers and brokers to innovators and policymakers — all focused on transforming how healthcare is purchased, delivered, and managed in the United States.
Michael shares firsthand takeaways from the conference, including how employers are taking a more active role in shaping healthcare strategy, the debut of Health Rosetta’s new Navigator tool, and the growing push for price transparency, fiduciary responsibility, and care navigation innovation.
The discussion highlights the rise of employer-driven healthcare reform, featuring examples of organizations improving employee care through on-site clinics, direct contracting, and transparent PBM solutions. The hosts also explore insights from author Chris Deacon (The Great Healthcare Heist) on systemic barriers, policy challenges, and the urgent need for accountability across payers, brokers, and hospital systems.
Listeners will gain an inside look at the cultural shift occurring within healthcare — from passive purchasing to proactive change — and learn how collaboration, data transparency, and new technologies are redefining the future of care delivery.
