## Resource

In Ohio's rural Ashtabula County, employers and patients struggled with rising costs and accessing services until a community coalition built a localized healthcare ecosystem. The results? A transparent financial structure that cuts out middlemen, direct primary care and community contracting, zero-dollar copays for many services and improved trust, satisfaction and population health outcomes. Bryce Heinbaugh, the man behind this coalition, joins us to discuss the transformative power of community owned health plans, and how his work in Ashtabula provides a roadmap for communities around the country to reclaim control from national insurance giants.
