Opposing Kouzoukas: A Stand for Medicare and Social Security

I am writing to you as a concerned constituent to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Demetrios Kouzoukas for the Public Board of Trustees for Medicare and Social Security. Mr. Kouzoukas's previous roles in the private sector, particularly his involvement with Clover Health, a for-profit insurance-tech firm, raise serious concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Given the crucial role of the Public Board of Trustees in overseeing programs as significant as Medicare and Social Security, it is imperative that members of the Board maintain a clear and unambiguous commitment to the public interest. Furthermore, Mr. Kouzoukas's tenure at UnitedHealth has been marked by practices that reportedly led to significant overpayments. These actions, if true, reflect a worrying disregard for the fiscal responsibility and ethical standards required of a Trustee responsible for managing vital public resources. In light of these concerns, I urge you to oppose Mr. Kouzoukas's nomination. By doing so, you will be taking a stand against potential corporate misconduct and ensuring the integrity of our essential public programs. It is critical that members of the Public Board of Trustees be free from conflicts of interest and wholly committed to the public good. Thank you for considering my views on this matter. I trust that you will act in the best interests of our community and the nation.
