What a fantastic and informative interview. This is a great addition to your blog. Jon’s high level, market-driven insights are refreshing for those of us who’ve spent so much time in the weeds, and those in the trenches. Great job (as always) and i’d love to see more like this!

The real question you needed to ask was – which big fish is going to take Epic out at $2+ billion??? and when…
Mark my word… it will happen.

I’m interested in the payer tech side of HCIT. Would like to know Jon’s views of present and future here. Companies in the space are Medecision, Click4Care (private), Kryptiq, Trizetto, and bigger companies such as DST and McKesson. Also, will UnitedHealth spin off Ingenix at some point. What’s that business worth? Also, what about the CDHC platforms such as CareGain (Fiserv), ConnectYourCare (Express Scripts), HealthEquity, ASI (DST). Also, banks such as BofA are getting into this, in part because of huge opportunities in financing consumer HC debt.

Any other thoughts on these sectors?
