Congressman Michael Burgess is the Chair of the House Rules Committee and one of only 20 M.D.s currently serving in Congress. Before his election to the House of Representatives in 2002 for the 26th District in Texas, Congressman Burgess was a practicing physician in obstetrics and gynecology.
 
In this Vital Health podcast, Congressman Burgess outlines the historical background of the need for the Medicare prescription drug benefit passed in 2003, the risks posed to seniors and U.S. healthcare more broadly due to the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Government’s potential use of march-in rights.
