    How the New Tax Cuts Are Shaping the U.S. Economy—and Our Fiscal Future

    Josh Barro, Eric Cantor, Jason Furman, William Lee, Maya MacGuineas, David Freeman, Jr., Steve

    Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor joined economists Jason Furman, Bill Lee, and Maya McGinnis to debate the new tax law's projected 0.7% annual GDP boost against concerns that rising debt will soon crowd out investment and hinder entitlement reform. While the group agreed the legislation offers short-term demand stimulus, they warned that without permanent spending cuts or revenue offsets, the resulting $1.5 trillion deficit will likely triple interest payments and force long-term interest rates higher. The panelists further noted that despite potential competitive advantages against China, the temporary nature of the cuts creates political uncertainty that may undermine the very productivity growth the law aims to stimulate.

    New Players Disrupting the Healthcare and R&D Landscape

    Dan Mendelson, Marc Harrison, Thomas Moriarty, Mario Schlosser, Benjamin Seet, Sue Siegel, David Freeman, Jr., Margot Sanger

    Industry leaders from Intermountain Healthcare, CVS Health, Oscar Health, ASTAR, and GE Health converge to address the unsustainable trajectory of U.S. and global healthcare costs through a strategic shift from volume-based to value-driven payment models. The discussion highlights critical initiatives including Intermountain's standalone generic drug venture, CVS's integration of pharmacists into community care hubs, and Oscar's full-stack technology infrastructure designed to leverage telemedicine for acute condition management. While these organizations and non-traditional entrants like Amazon and tech giants in Asia drive innovation, they simultaneously navigate systemic barriers such as data interoperability failures, consumer financial toxicity, and the complex challenge of scaling digital adoption across diverse demographics.

    Sue Siegel, Annie Lamine, Larry Jamison, Jared Bernstein, Peter Bach, Carolyn Gallagher, Rachel Brathen, Eric Schmidt, David Levinson, David Freeman, Jr., Jared Dillian, Jr., John Keegan, David Kelley, Sue Killey, John McCurry, Jr., John McWhorter

    A 2013 industry panel analyzed the intersection of $2 billion in digital health investment, escalating pharmaceutical pricing, and systemic inefficiencies driving healthcare to consume 18% of the U.S. GDP. Key stakeholders discussed how venture capital prioritizes waste reduction over profit while hospital systems increasingly acquire physicians to manage EHR costs and leverage drug discount programs. The discussion concluded by highlighting pilot initiatives like Cincinnati's Healthy Cities, which achieved $200 million in annual savings through care coordination, while projecting a future shift toward outcome-based value models.
