Mr. Dendy commented, "Healthcare fees in the U.S. are often three to four times higher than other countries. While the Affordable Care Act has made strides in expanding coverage, there is still a great deal of work needed to address the costs of healthcare plans for employers. At AMPS, our mission is to assist employers in developing and deploying alternative plans that significatly reduce costs while still providing outstanding benefits to their employee members."
