This is a short transcript of SOTSQ Episode 18 (Manage Risk, Not Insurance Part 3) featuring Andy Neary and a second speaker. The episode reviews prior episodes on financing risk and catastrophic risk, then focuses on health-care purchasing risk: employees often use the benefit like an "unlimited company credit card," ignoring price/quality, and employers should actively steer them to high-quality, low-price providers and reward that behavior (making access free). The hosts claim doing so benefits employees' wallets and employers' bottom line and end with a share/request CTA.
