Robert Andrews | Source | Chief Executive Officer at Health Transformation Alliance

Robert E. Andrews is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Health Transformation Alliance (HTA), an original author of the Affordable Care Act, and a former member of Congress. As CEO of the HTA, Andrews oversees the strategic direction of approximately 70+ major corporations that have come together in an alliance to do one thing: fix our broken healthcare system. Formed by four founding members in September 2015, the HTA member companies collectively are responsible for more than 8 million employees, dependents, and retirees with an annual healthcare spend of $30+ billion.

Through Andrews' leadership, the HTA has launched value-driven solutions specifically designed to improve patient care and economic value through world-class data and analytics, pathbreaking pharmaceutical solutions, high-quality medical networks, and robust consumer engagement initiatives. To date, the cooperative has saved its member companies well over $2 billion in healthcare costs. Andrews' leadership has been equally important in the HTA developing programs addressing racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare, mental health issues, and safe return-to-work programs following the pandemic.

Andrews served as a member of the United States House of Representatives for nearly 24 years. Upon his departure from Congress, President Barack Obama praised Robert’s service as “an original author of the Affordable Care Act … and a vital partner in its passage and implementation.”
