Who is AMAC Action?

The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) is the leading and growing conservatives’ alternative for all mature Americans and seniors. For AMAC members – now over 2.2 million -- and conservatives wishing to become more active advocates in their respective Congressional Districts and States, AMAC Action, AMAC’s advocacy affiliate, provides a vehicle for them to volunteer and actively engage in the national grassroots advocacy programs supported by AMAC Action staff.

AMAC Action Mission Statement

AMAC Action serves to support and defend the United States Constitution, freedom, liberty, and the free market. AMAC Action and its volunteer advocates work to advance AMAC members’ influence in Washington, DC, in Congressional Districts, and state legislatures across the country while serving as a valued resource for the membership, Congress, state leaders, and mature Americans throughout the nation. AMAC Action enables conservative Americans to become politically engaged and active in their community.

What We Do

  • Identify legislation that AMAC should support or oppose on behalf of our membership
  • Promote and assist in the development of common-sense legislation consistent with conservative principles to respond to the challenges facing our membership and our Nation
  • Develop relationships with Members of Congress, state legislators, and other elected officials through the grassroots efforts of our Advocates (Delegates, Chapter Leaders, and Chapter Members) and our Government Relations Team in Washington, D.C.

How We Accomplish our Goals

  • Meet with Members of Congress in local Districts and on Capitol Hill to discuss specific legislation and issues important to AMAC members
  • Hold Meet & Greet events throughout the country connecting AMAC members with their elected representatives to discuss issues and ask questions as constituents

AMAC Action Signature Issues

H.R. 856 – Physician Pro Bono Care Act

  • Allows physicians to increase their Medicaid and CHIP-eligible patient populations by having the option to take a voluntary tax deduction in exchange for treating these patients at no charge
  • The tax deduction is commensurate to the amount of the physician’s normal and customary fees
  • Increases access to medical care by providing an alternative to costly hospital emergency rooms for primary care
  • Reduces federal and state Medicaid and CHIP expenditures

AMAC’s Plan to Preserve and Modernize Social Security

Social Security Guarantee

  • Guarantees an increase in benefits by implementing a tiered approach to cost-of-living adjustments for high earners, middle earners and low earners
  • Guarantees social security solvency by raising the retirement age gradually

Social Security Plus

  • A new way for younger people to save for retirement similar to a Roth IRA
  • Completely voluntary for the employee and employer. This is in addition to regular Social Security benefits

Addressing Drug Costs & Shortages

  • Group purchasing organizations and pharmacy benefit managers are hospital supply and prescription drug supply chain middlemen who charge “rebates” to manufacturers and suppliers for access to their contracts
  • These “rebates” are protected by a statute that makes this business practice legal, but this money negatively affects the cost of hospital supplies and in particular, the list cost of outpatient prescription drugs
  • AMAC is working with a coalition of physician and patient advocates to remove the middleman money from the hospital and prescription drug supply chains
  • Removal of this middleman money will drive down costs by many millions of dollars and open both the hospital and prescription drug supply chains to free-market competition and innovation
