Paragon\u2019s efforts will rely on free-market solutions, innovation, patient choice, and competition<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

WASHINGTON<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u2013 Leading health policy experts today launched Paragon Health Institute<\/strong>, a research center that will deliver innovative policy solutions that empower Americans to control their health care decisions and finances, cut bureaucracy and red tape, and reform government programs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paragon will be led by Brian Blase, Ph.D., who from 2017-2019 served as special assistant at the White House National Economic Council, along with some of the nation\u2019s most impactful health policy leaders with experience crafting federal and state reforms, including reforming Medicare and Medicaid, expanding coverage options for employers and workers, and reducing regulatory barriers to enhance market competition and innovation. These uniquely qualified leaders have the expertise needed to properly evaluate existing government programs and develop constructive plans for implementing important policy reforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe public health policy debate is overwhelmingly centered on growing the government\u2019s role\u2013\u2013rarely is it focused on how government programs can work better and what is most important for health and overall well-being,\u201d\u00a0said Paragon Health Institute\u2019s President Brian Blase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paragon Health Institute will be a counterweight to that imbalance, generating state and federal policy solutions that give patients control of their health care finances with better information about prices and quality. Paragon\u2019s experts will study government program results and contrast government-centric approaches with more market-oriented health policies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paragon will \u201cdevelop policies that address the\u00a0biggest challenges in health care by empowering\u00a0patients to drive their care, as well as harnessing competition and\u00a0innovation to increase access and improve quality,” said Demetrios L. Kouzoukas, the chief executive of the Medicare program at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services from 2017 through 2021. Kouzoukas will lead Paragon\u2019s Medicare initiative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paragon\u2019s policy advisors are uniquely positioned to draw on medicine, law, economics, and public policy to formulate effective policies and challenge the entrenched forces that perpetuate an inefficient status quo. The team is also situated to cultivate a generation of future policy champions by educating policymakers and thought leaders on market-based health policy ideas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“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,” said Dr. Marty Makary, a leading physician, health policy expert, and professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Carey School. Dr. Makary is the author of the recently released book, \u201cThe Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care–and How to Fix It.\u201d Dr. Makary serves as a Paragon Health Institute public advisor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Background:<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paragon Health Institute leadership team includes:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paragon’s President, Brian C. Blase, PhD<\/strong>, developed, coordinated, and led implementation of many Trump administration health policies as a special assistant for economic policy at the White House’s National Economic Council from 2017-2019. Since leaving the White House, Brian launched Blase Policy Strategies, has authored nearly 20 research studies, and has had numerous articles in The<\/em> Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, Forbes, <\/em>and The Hill<\/em>, among other outlets. Prior to working at the White House, Brian held senior roles at the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Senate Republican Policy Committee. Brian is also serving as Director of Paragon\u2019s Private Health Reform Initiative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Caroline DeBerry, Vice President<\/strong>. Caroline DeBerry has been in government and public service for over 17 years. She was a senior federal appointee, congressional staffer, founder of a consulting firm, and a chief officer for an international nonprofit that provides free health clinics. \u00a0Caroline has worked on several important pieces of legislation, including provisions in the 2020 CARES Act, 21st Century Cures Act, FY19 National Defense Authorization Act, among others.\u00a0 Caroline has ghostwritten law books and other works and wrote her own book, The Renewal of Independence<\/em>, published in 2010.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Demetrios L. Kouzoukas is the Director of Paragon Health Institute\u2019s Medicare Reform Initiative<\/strong>. He was the chief executive of the Medicare program from 2017 to 2021, during which time he delivered successively lower payment error rates each year, brought about extraordinary reductions in Medicare Advantage premiums, and rewired policies and operations across the board in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kouzoukas\u2019s strategic vision revolutionized Medicare payments for telehealth, maximized access for patients to medical technology innovations, expanded Medicare Advantage supplemental benefits to address chronic disease and social determinants of health, instituted landmark price transparency, and overhauled the skilled nursing facility and home health payment systems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As Pennsylvania\u2019s Secretary of Human Services and Rhode Island\u2019s Secretary of Health and Human Services and Medicaid Director, Alexander created structural reforms like the Medicaid Global Waiver and the Enterprise Program Integrity Initiative. These waivers delivered unprecedented flexibility to redesign Medicaid programs and reduce fraud and abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Joel M. Zinberg, M.D., J.D., is the Director of Paragon Health Institute\u2019s Public Health and American Well-Being Initiative<\/strong>.\u00a0 Dr. Zinberg has been involved with health policy issues and the interaction between law and medicine for his entire career. He is a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Previously, he was the general counsel and a senior economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers, 2017-2019. He practiced general and oncologic surgery in New York for nearly 30 years where he is an Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Icahn Mount Sinai School of Medicine, taught at the Columbia University Law School, and has written for publications as varied as the Journal of the American Medical Association, the Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons, The Wall Street Journal, National Review, City Journal, The New York Post<\/em>, and law reviews.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
