Oklahoma Faces Healthcare Crisis as Subsidies End

Healthcare Costs Could Soar for Oklahomans

State Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready issued a stark warning this week. He said Oklahomans should brace for a major shock to the healthcare system when federal subsidies under the President’s “Big Beautiful Bill” expire on December 31, 2025.

Currently, more than 300,000 residents rely on Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies to afford health insurance. Mulready cautioned that once those subsidies vanish, premiums will spike by more than 75%.

What the Healthcare Change Means for Families

“This will create a crisis for families who already struggle with high costs of living,” Mulready explained.

Many residents may be forced to go without coverage, adding pressure to hospitals and emergency services.

Health policy experts predict the fallout could mirror challenges faced in other states that saw subsidy reductions. Without action, thousands of Oklahomans may lose insurance just as medical costs rise. Lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session are expected to debate possible state-level solutions.
