“We have kept a close eye
on the public Exchanges, knowing our two worlds will, at some point,
intersect to better serve healthcare consumers and employers. We are

to use our knowledge and experience to improve another sector of our
industry and ultimately how consumers interact with the healthcare
system.” Simeon Schindelman, CEO, Bloom Health |
