## Resource

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Dana Hollifleld, a nurse with over 20 years of experience, to discuss how government policies are impacting healthcare workers and patients alike. After working in multiple states, Dana noticed a stark difference when she arrived in Alabama—limited job options, suppressed wages, and reduced patient choice due to hospital monopolies reinforced by certificate of need (CON) laws. Instead of accepting the status quo, she took action—organizing her peers, demanding transparency, and pushing for change. Her efforts helped secure pay raises for healthcare workers and sparked a broader movement to challenge restrictive regulations that limit competition and innovation in healthcare. This episode highlights how one person’s decision to speak up can create real change—and why expanding choice and transparency in healthcare is critical for better outcomes for both patients and providers.
