Lyft wants to solidify its place in healthcare, hires health policy guru

Rideshare company Lyft wants to continue pushing into healthcare, particularly in Medicare and Medicaid. So, it just brought on a new executive to help the Lyft healthcare team navigate the complexities of regulations and policy. 

Lyft has partnered with a number of states to provide nonemergency medical transport to Medicaid enrollees, and it also views Medicare Advantage as a key market for transportation services.
