Consumers for Health Coverage
About OCHC (convened by UHCAN Ohio)
Ohio’s policy makers and stakeholder groups are working on proposals to
expand access to affordable health care. Businesses,
hospitals, insurers and other stakeholders are actively
protecting their interests. But who is looking out for
consumers?
We need a strong, united consumer voice
to make sure reforms meet the needs of all Ohioans.
Ohio Consumers for Health Coverage (OCHC)
combines the forces of health care consumers and advocates
for access to health care, to create a united consumer voice for
health care reform.
We need state
and local consumer organizations and individual advocates to get
involved! Click here to
learn about our principles and strategies for reform.
