a16z says commercial health insurance is opening to startups
a16z points to rising premiums, higher consumer expectations and AI as three forces making health plans compete again.
TLDR
a16z describes commercial health insurance as a $1 trillion market opening up for the first time in decades. It says rising premiums are pushing employers to shop for alternatives, while direct-to-consumer care—and now AI-native care—is raising consumer expectations. The firm also says AI is lowering the cost and complexity of building and operating health plans, making the market more accessible to startups.
