The healthcare market is crippled by a single structural issue: the person receiving care is almost never the person paying for it.
Loss of Consumer Discipline: Roughly 90 cents of every healthcare dollar in the United States is paid by a third party—either a private insurer or the government.
Elimination of Price Competition: Because patients do not directly spend their own money, they are prevented from shopping around, comparing costs, or questioning inflated service fees.
Distorted Tax Incentives: This system was artificially created by the tax code's exclusion of employer-sponsored health insurance from taxable income. Originating from World War II wage controls and codified in 1954, this tax break suppresses direct cash wages, chains workers to their employers, and crowds out direct consumer direct care.

The single most effective step toward restoring consumer power is expanding Health Savings Accounts. When individuals control their own pre-tax medical dollars, direct price discipline returns to the marketplace.
Remove Plan Eligibility Restrictions: Uncouple HSA eligibility from rigid high-deductible health plan requirements.
Follow the Consumer: Allow HSAs to follow the individual across all plan types, including short-term limited-duration insurance, health-sharing arrangements, and direct primary care models.
Expand Contribution Limits & Usage: Build upon contribution expansions to ensure pre-tax dollars can be saved continuously throughout a worker's lifetime to cover routine direct medical expenses.

By encouraging direct direct purchasing, we eliminate bureaucratic insurance middlemen for routine care and drive down baseline costs.
Support Direct Primary Care (DPC): Clarify tax rules to ensure DPC memberships and direct direct payments to local clinics are fully qualified medical expenses under HSAs.
Mandate Real Price Transparency: Require hospitals and medical networks to publish upfront, cash-choice pricing so patients can evaluate value before receiving treatment.

Workplace-based insurance should not hold a monopoly on tax advantages. Ralph Ambrosio supports tax fairness that puts individual purchasing power on equal footing with corporate spending, returning control to employees and increasing wage growth potential.

Ensure government fulfills its primary function of keeping citizens safe by supporting law enforcement, securing the nation, and defending the right to self-defense. By focusing on crime prevention and effective policing, we will see gains in public safety, our local economy, and overall quality of life.

Offer a fresh perspective to challenge the status quo and better represent our home of upstate NY. This means support for term limits, Voter ID, parental rights in education, and rooting out corruption wherever it exists. We need a government we can trust and that represents all of us.
