We’re transforming payer-provider infrastructure into a national health-discovery platform—one that accelerates evidence, improves outcomes for seniors, and reduces billions in avoidable Medicare spending.

• Real-world evidence in months, not years through integrated claims, clinical data, and AI
• Safer, more effective care for seniors by embedding millions of 65+ patients into continuous learning
• Lower costs and better outcomes by identifying what truly works—and eliminating what doesn’t

Our Mission has always been to remove barriers that keep seniors from life-changing therapies while generating the evidence policymakers and physicians need. With President Trump’s support and TCP’s operational expertise, the Healthcare Discovery Engine turns safe access into a powerful engine form national health innovation.

Transforming America’s Healthcare System Into a Continuous Learning Engine

The Kessler Initiative is launching a one-year Medicare Advantage demonstration to prove something simple and profound: the United States can turn its existing payer-provider infrastructure into a national health-discovery engine.

Target Outcomes

Over the one-year period, the program will demonstrate:

• Ability to leverage the payer-provider infrastructure to drive accelerated healthcare innovation, in collaboration with broader scientific community and the government
• Shortened timelines and dramatically reduced cost of clinical trials
• Decrease in outsourcing clinical trial components overseas, strengthening US global leadership in biomedical discoveries dollars.
• Meaningful inclusion of seniors 65+ by giving them the ‘right to try’ within a supervised environment
• Improved clinical outcomes, medication safety, and lower total cost of care in shifting healthcare from a snapshot in time with clinical trials to a longitudinal evaluation of aging and disease progression

As founder of the Kessler Initiative puts it:

“We are sitting on the largest healthcare data asset in the world–and using it as a billing system. This demonstration begins to change that.”

“By integrating claims, clinical data, and advanced analytics, we can generate real-world evidence in months–not years; improve outcomes for seniors; reduce opioid exposure; and cut billions in avoidable Medicare spending.”

Howard Kessler is clear about the stakes:

“Every day we delay converting payer/provider claims into a health-discovery engine, we are accepting preventable harm to seniors and tens of billions in wasted Medicare dollars.”
