Costs to families and businesses are increasing everywhere from the local grocery store to the neighborhood gas station. That is why it is more important than ever before to help keep health care affordable and accessible for all Oklahomans.

Holding down the costs of health care may seem like an impossible task, but controlling costs is a challenge we can meet if all stakeholders – consumers, employers, health care professionals, policymakers and health plans – work together to find solutions.

The Affordable Access to Health Care coalition is dedicated to providing an accurate source of information about health care funding, financing and coverage in Oklahoma. Through this Web site we will share some eye-opening facts about the rising costs of health care to give you a better understanding of the things that drive these increases.

We urge you to take a few minutes to read and understand these issues. If you would like to send a message to the policymakers at our state Capitol, please visit the tab titled “What you can do” where you will find a toolkit to help you bring about change.
