In this episode of Healthcare Americana, host Christopher Habig speaks with Matt Ohrt, the new Executive Director of the Free Market Medical Association (FMMA), about the future of free market healthcare in America. They discuss how price transparency, direct primary care, and employer-driven health plans can lower costs and improve access to quality care. Matt explains why rising healthcare costs are driven by broken payment systems, not better medicine, and how employers can use their buying power to demand fair, upfront pricing. The conversation also highlights the growing grassroots movement of independent physicians, surgery centers, and business leaders who are working to restore competition and choice in healthcare. If you care about affordable healthcare, physician freedom, and real reform that works in practice, this episode outlines a clear and practical path forward.
