On June 14, 2024, Paragon’s Theo Merkel was referenced in National Review.
From the article:
For the latest episode of Econception, my podcast with the American Institute for Economic Research, I talked to Theo Merkel of the Paragon Health Institute about how the tax code affects health care. The most obvious way is through the tax exemption for employer-sponsored coverage, which is a big part of the reason why health insurance is so tied up with employment in the United States. We also talk about health savings accounts, Obamacare tax credits, and several other areas where tax policy and health policy overlap. Merkel co-authored a report for Paragon with Brian Blase that looks through the history of health care and the tax code.
