“Effective and lasting solutions and policy approaches require a diversity of ideas and the ability of we, the people, to consider and critically examine them. I am very excited that the Paragon Institute can become a beacon of new ideas and approaches towards improving the health of our population (and our badly broken health ‘system’).”
John J. Dreyzehner
“The increasingly diverse health care needs of Americans clearly cannot be met by a government-centered system. A vibrant and dynamic market with empowered consumers can bring the best value to everyone.”
Ge Bai
“This exciting effort convenes a broad range of health care leaders to think big and bold about how we can improve the delivery of care.”
Marty Makary
“I am excited to join Paragon to develop policies that address the biggest challenges in health care by empowering patients to drive their care, as well as harnessing competition and innovation to increase access and improve quality.”
Demetrios L. Kouzoukas
“At a time during which sound health policy debate is largely absent in DC, Paragon is just the right antidote to introduce practical policy recommendations based on rigorous research. The post-Covid era will require a renewed focus on policies addressing health care costs, access, quality, and innovation. Paragon will capably inform these policies. I am honored to be part of the team.”
Paul Mango
“Medical innovation is the key to improving health and enhancing life. I’m advising Paragon because their leadership team and experts are dedicated to developing policy reforms that encourage, rather than stifle, innovation.”
Tomas Philipson
“US government health programs exhibit unsustainable cost growth, are poorly targeted, exacerbate healthcare cost inflation, and desperately need reforms. Paragon’s scholars have the government experience to understand the problems, and to develop sensible policies to address them.”
