. . . Welcome . . . 

 

Welcome to the Oklahoma House and Senate Joint Health Care Committee website. We hope this site provides information for all Oklahomans to better understand what the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed by congress last year contains, along with its cost and implications to all Oklahomans. While we are against the federal mandates on our health care, we understand that until this law is overturned in the courts or by federal legislation, we are still subject to many of its provisions.

 

This committee was established to explore the mandates this bill legislates and the level of flexibility we have as a state. Our goal is to preserve our private health care system and to protect the rights of Oklahoma citizens, while exploring all of our options concerning federal law.

 

Our hope is that all Oklahomans will learn what options are available through our committee meetings, the media and this website, and that with one voice we can make the best decision for every Oklahoma citizen. 

Committee meetings are open to the public. Check back often for updated information of meeting times, dates, locations and agendas. Please email stanislawski@oksenate.gov or glen.mulready@okhouse.gov if you wish to be placed on the email listing to be notified of upcoming meetings. Links will become active as they are updated.
