The Medicare Shared Savings Program, the accountable care organization (ACO) model that served 10.6 million seniors in 2020, collectively saved Medicare $4.1 billion last year, and $1.9 billion after accounting for shared savings payments, according to the National Association of ACOs and as recently published in Healthcare Finance. 513 ACOs participated in the Shared Savings Program in 2020, down from the 541 MSSP ACOs in 2019. 
While the term “Gen C” was first introduced circa 2012 by futurist Brian Solis as a way of describing a generation of connected consumers defined not by their age, geography, or income but by their hyper-connected, mobile-first mentality, it’s increasingly being used to describe post-pandemic-born babies. It’s also been applied to the mindset and expectations of consumers in the wake of the pandemic.
The year of 2020 was dominated by the news of how COVID-19 spread around the world, and how life has been changed by the disruption of this pandemic. We have witnessed the journeys of battling the disease, dedication and sacrifices by the front-line heroes, and the emotional roller coaster of wondering when this pandemic would end, or when we’d have vaccines that safely protect us from the unprecedented pandemic.
