A Return to Common Sense
AMAC member, Michael Ryan, is a Marine Corps veteran, former HR executive, and lifelong American who believes in hard work, personal responsibility, and smart government. In his view, “the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ (OBBB) feels like a piece of legislation that’s rooted in common sense.”
Policy and Legislation Support
S. 2355 – Patients Deserve Price Tags Act
Lack of transparency in our healthcare system leads to surprise bills, price gouging, and financial hardship for millions of Americans. This bill requires hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, imaging providers, and clinical labs to publish actual negotiated rates, cash prices, and itemized costs. The bill’s provisions also ensure that group health plans and employers have access to claims data, while preventing third-party administrators from hiding vital information. This will help reduce overall healthcare costs, promote innovation, and support AMAC members and their families who are still in the workforce or rely on employer-sponsored retiree coverage.

Term of the Week: Appropriation
“The grant of money by a legislature for some specific purpose. The authority to grant appropriations, popularly known as the Power of the Purse, gives legislatures a powerful check over the Executive Branches and Judicial Branches, for no public money can be spent without legislative approval. Congress, for example, can approve or reject the annual budget requests of the executive branch for its agencies and programs, thereby influencing both domestic and foreign policy.”
(Hirsch, E. D., et al. The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy. 2nd ed., Houghton Mifflin, 1993, p. 320.)

Quote of the Week
“Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.”
