Bruce Broussard didn’t choose health care—but health care certainly chose him.
Broussard grew up in small-town Texas and studied accounting in undergrad. It was only by chance that, while in an early consulting job out of college, he started working on health care-related projects. It stuck: Broussard went on to become CFO, then CEO and chairman at US Oncology (acquired by McKesson in 2010). Starting in 2013, he served as the CEO and president of Humana, among the largest U.S. publicly traded benefits providers. Over the course of Broussard’s decade-long tenure, Humana’s market cap went from around $15 billion in 2013 to over $30 billion this year. I asked Broussard, since he’d know: What does it actually take to change health care?
