LOS ANGELES CA, USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- JANUARY 22, 2026: This event will feature a conversation between Paragon's Demetrios Kouzoukas, who served as the Director of Medicare at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) during the entire first Trump term, and Chris Klomp, who is the current Director of Medicare at CMS.
 Medicare is the largest and most influential federal health program. Every year, CMS issues important regulatory changes and updates to Medicare payments and policies.
Join us for a timely and important discussion on Medicare reforms past, present, and future — and what they mean for America's seniors and the country moving forward. Chris and Demetrios are the best two people in the country to provide perspective on these issues, and they will discuss site-neutral payments, encouraging competition and expanding patient choice in Medicare, the future of Medicare Advantage, addressing drug prices, and more.
ABOUT PARAGON
NPR reports: "President-elect Trump has nominated two well-known public figures to lead federal-level health care for him — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary and Dr. Mehmet Oz to head Medicare and Medicaid. But a think tank called Paragon Health Institute, founded by an adviser under Trump's first administration, may be influencing health policy behind the scenes."
