In 2019, Oklahoma Families for Affordable Healthcare (OKFAHC) was created to advocate for sound healthcare policies that reduce the cost of care. Since its inception, OKFAHC has become the much-needed voice for Oklahoma families and business who believe that the cost of healthcare is out-of-control.
-
Over 100,000 Oklahomans have signed up to be a part of the OKFAHC coalition and use our platform to contact their lawmakers. OKFAHC is supported by private individual advocates and business partners.
-
We closely monitor healthcare policy trends and work with lawmakers, regulators, and communities to explain how legislation affects cost and access to care. We also advocate for measures that build a fairer health system for all Oklahomans.
-
We build coalitions of organizations that work on behalf of Oklahomans’ health, including the Oklahoma Primary Care Association, INTEGRIS Health, the Oklahoma Academy of Family Physicians, and the Oklahoma Association of Health Plans. We will continue to build partnerships that benefit Oklahomans’ health.
Since 2019, we've championed healthcare reforms that matter to Oklahoma families, focused on reducing costs and improving access. Check our Issues section to stay informed on the latest challenges and our ongoing advocacy efforts.
