Eugene Ugur Sayan is the Founder, CEO and President of Softheon, a technology company that powers healthcare.gov and state ACA exchanges serving over 10 million Americans daily. Eugene filed a patent on intelligent software agents in 1998, long before anyone was discussing "agentic" workflows. Over the years, they built the Massachusetts Connector (America's first state health exchange) and now power the infrastructure behind healthcare.gov, serving over 10 million Americans with 1,300+ AI agents running 24/7/365. This isn't theoretical AI. It's production systems where 99% accuracy means people lose health coverage. Eugene explains why healthcare demands "airline industry standards" (99.999% uptime), the PPT Framework (People, Process, Technology), how his team orchestrates agents across federal and 50-state AI regulations, and why Softheon owns its entire stack, from data centers to application layer technology.

Kevin Deutsch, Chief Growth Officer at Softheon The price shock caused by skyrocketing ACA (Affordable Care Act) premiums of 2026 is reshaping the way Americans think about and buy their health coverage. This environment creates an opportunity for provider-sponsored health plans (PSHPs) to step in and provide more patient-centered care and coverage to their communities. He average unsubsidized premiums for the 2026 exchange-based Open Enrollment Period increased nearly 20% from last year, and the expiration of enhanced tax credits increased prices even further for many enrollees, with some paying more than double.
