Celebrate the 250th episode as Jared and Zain give a "State of the State" of Consumer Transformation. They start off by the numbers, sharing some figures from research across the industry about what consumers want and how healthcare organizations are meeting those demands (or not). Then they discuss who’s trending up and down and wrap up by creating a consumer cocktail. 

All that, plus the Flava of the Week about the rumors that CVS is exploring an acquisition of Oak Street Health. Can retailers, hospitals, and value-based primary care coexist, and can a less-hospital-centric version of healthcare benefit everyone?
