## Resource

A Health Podyssey is on vacation in July. We will return with new episodes in August 2026. This episode was originally aired on August 15, 2023. In a crossover episode with Health Affairs' Policy Spotlight event series , Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil interviews Meena Seshamani, director at the Center for Medicare at CMS. They discuss the evolution of Medicare Advantage, value-based programs, and more. Currently, more than 70 percent of our content is freely available - and we'd like to keep it that way. With your support , we can continue to keep our digital publication Forefront and podcasts free for everyone.
