$5 Trillion Wake-Up Call: Congressman Rich McCormick on Fixing America's Broken Healthcare System

In this eye-opening episode of American Potential , host David From is joined by Congressman Rich McCormick, an ER physician, U.S. Marine and Navy veteran, and representative of Georgia’s 6th District, to confront one of the greatest threats to America’s future: our broken healthcare system. McCormick brings real-world medical and military experience to Congress, and in this powerful conversation, he explains why healthcare is not only the largest spending item in the federal budget but also the fastest-rising cost burdening American families and businesses. At over $5 trillion a year, it rivals the world’s largest economies—and it's unsustainable. He lays out the case for urgent, common-sense reforms: Eliminate Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) abuse that drives up prescription costs Achieve site neutrality so hospitals and independent providers are reimbursed fairly Cut red tape and restore competition by ending outdated Certificate of Need laws Unleash the power of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and patient-centered transparency Stop the government’s overreach into your health decisions, exposed during COVID Congressman McCormick also warns of the broader national consequences if we don’t act now—economic decline, loss of global influence, and the erosion of personal freedom. If you care about healthcare freedom, responsible spending, and protecting the American Dream, this is a must-listen episode. 📍 Learn more at: AmericanPotential.com
