Centene CEO Sarah London says Medicaid patients are the last to benefit from health care innovation. She wants AI to change that

The latest innovations and breakthroughs in health care don’t get routed to the sickest people, they usually go to the deepest pockets. “Most of the venture money in health care goes into where the money is, and the money isn’t in Medicaid,” Centene CEO Sarah London said on Monday at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit. “That means that underserved communities don’t actually benefit from innovation first. Sometimes they never do.” Centene, a $33 billion company based in Missouri, is built around those very communities. The company runs Medicaid plans in 29 states and sells individual marketplace plans and Medicare Advantage.
