Why Nobody is Winning The Payer-Provider AI Arms Race w/ Dr. Marc Harrison, TowerBrook Healthcare Institute

Sep 18, 2026

American health care is too expensive, too inconsistent, and too difficult to navigate. And the payer-provider AI arms race that has emerged over the last several years is making all three problems worse, not better.

Dr. Marc Harrison, Chair of the TowerBrook Health Care Institute, former CEO of Intermountain Health, and co-founder of HATCo, joins host John Marchica to examine why the health care system remains stubbornly stuck in an analog model and how AI-driven abundance could finally close the gap between the care Americans need and the care they can actually access.
