Healthcare

Overview Accountability and Corruption Cost of Living Jobs Farming Education Healthcare Veterans Second Amendment Women’s Health
Your health should not be determined by your zip code.

As you may know, I am a combat vet, and my wife is a local family doctor. I have a lot of respect for people on the front lines of our healthcare system, making what are often life and death decisions to serve their patients. I don’t want to see healthcare used by politicians to score political points. This is a kitchen table survival issue.

I see firsthand through my wife’s work that our local civilian clinics are already desperately understaffed, maxed out on space, and facing severe doctor shortages. Real healthcare reform means fiercely protecting and expanding our local medical infrastructure, cutting the red tape that keeps new doctors out of underserved areas, and ensuring folks don’t have to drive for hours to get the care they need, including specialized care or mental health counseling. True community readiness means taking care of the people who keep our country running, and I am fighting to ensure that no rural family in our community is left isolated.

Defend Medicaid and Medicare

  • No vouchers. Vouchers would only shift the financial risk and burden to seniors.
  • Fight against block grants that lack the flexibility to address health crises.
  • Expand Medicare to include nursing homes for long-term care.
  • Expand price negotiation opportunities to ensure the lowest possible drug costs.

Bring More Healthcare Providers to Northwest Georgia

  • Support the Rural Residency Planning and Development Act (RRPD). This bipartisan legislation ensures long-term funding for rural hospitals that want to create residency programs of their own, bringing doctors, particularly specialists, into underserved rural areas.
  • Invest in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC). The NHSC sends medical professionals into rural and underserved communities, with several in the 14th District. Currently, doctors who want to work in rural communities are being turned away. We need to expand, not reduce the funding for these programs so that your healthcare options are not determined by your zip code.
  • Build a Consortium Funding Table. Bring regional health hubs, like Atrium or AdventHealth, together with smaller, independent clinics so they can apply for funds together, giving rural areas more opportunities to host resident doctors.
  • Fix the Medicare Graduate Medical Education (GME) funding caps. Correct the funding error in the “Big, Beautiful Bill” that only provides recruitment resources.
