As part of Yahoo Finance's Healthcare Week, reporter Anjalee Khemlani speaks with Daryl Tol of General Catalyst about the transformation of healthcare, as non-traditional companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Walmart (WMT) enter the space. This has pressured established players to modernize outdated systems and provide more consumer-friendly care. Tol says many new entrants are driven by "strategic alignment" versus truly transforming care. While they can successfully implement needed changes, he argues it's often limited to what benefits their strategic goals, leaving consumers with a complex system that doesn't fully address their needs. He notes value-based care is important, but more vital "connected care" often gets lost.

Tol believes the ideal future state combines wide access and consumer-centered services with coordinated lifetime care. This requires both new thinking and organized care systems to evolve for modern needs.
