On September 25, 2024, Paragon’s Brian Blase was quoted in The Washington Post.
From the article:
The Paragon Health Institute, a conservative think tank, this year concluded that as many as 5 million Americans may be wrongly receiving ACA insurance subsidies. Brian Blase, a former Trump White House official who serves as Paragon’s president, said the debate over the tax credits on Capitol Hill revolves around “smoke and mirrors.”
“It’s not surprising insurance companies want more government subsidies,” Blase said in an interview. “It would be really nice if we could have a conversation about flaws with the ACA … rather than just continue this subsidy structure, which I think we’ve pretty conclusively proven has led to massive waste.”
