from my experience, getting these senior insiders to lead a newco would just result in more incremental innovation. Most of them came up in and benefited from the current broken system and are either too conservative to embrace drastic change or don't want to rock the boat.
I don't think something like Kaiser could be easily rebuilt from scratch, but I don't know too much about the Mayo Clinic except for its reputation for clinical excellence and their active investments in innovation. Have they implemented new models to meaningfully lower cost of care?
I also imagine Atul gawande has enough experience with the existing system to know what ideas have a chance of working vs running into a brick wall of conflicting incentives. He can hire somebody to lead negotiations with insurance companies and providers, etc

Reminds me of some parts of the IT department in my company. I don't trust anybody who has worked there for a few years because any reasonable person would have left or lost his mind. They certainly will not be innovators.
