Progressive Secretary is “Activism Made Easy”
Our letter supports a campaign by Social Security Works. It asks the Senate to oppose the nomination of Demetrios Kouzoukas as Public Trustee overseeing Medicare’s financing because he has a serious conflict of interest.
We will send your email messages to your Senators and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (for his Democratic caucus). You will also have the opportunity to tweet your message to those people.
Here’s the letter (you can edit it in the next step).
President Biden nominated Demetrios Kouzoukas as Public Trustee overseeing Medicare’s financing. He’s currently a compensated member of the board of a for-profit company that makes money from undermining Medicare through “Medicare Advantage” plans.
“Medicare Advantage” plans overcharge the government by tens of billions yearly. These overpayments worsen Medicare’s financial position.
Currently, Kouzoukas benefits from undermining Medicare’s financial position, and shockingly, he refuses to say that he’ll leave that $100,000-a-year position if appointed Public Trustee. Simultaneously serving on that board and as Public Trustee is a serious conflict of interest.
This conflict is unacceptable. The Senate must not confirm Kouzoukas as a Medicare Public Trustee.
