ABOUT TEXANS FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE
TEXANS FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE (TAHC) provides an independent, non-partisan voice for families and businesses around issues impacting the cost of healthcare.
We know that Big Government policies, unfunded mandates, unchecked hospital monopolies and special interest carveouts have created a healthcare cost crisis in Texas. We are doing something about it, by advocating for responsible market-based policies that promote transparency and competition while opposing the kinds of bad public policy that have made healthcare in Texas unaffordable for many families.
TAHC is supported by private individuals and business partners. Thousands of Texans have signed up to be a part of our coalition or used our platform to contact their lawmakers.
TAHC closely monitors trends in healthcare policy and engages with lawmakers, regulators, and traditional and social media in order to educate Texans about legislation and/or regulations that drive up cost or limit accessibility of healthcare.
Meet TAHC Executive Director Mia McCord
Mia McCord is a South Texas native, a mother of two, and a public policy professional whose personal and professional experience taught her that families and patients often lack an effective advocate in the healthcare space. She now leads Texans for Affordable Healthcare to make sure that families have a seat at the table when lawmakers craft policy that impacts their bottom line and the quality and accessibility of their care.
Mia began her work in Texas government and politics after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004. She has nearly two decades of experience in Texas public policy, campaigns, government relations, and most recently, served as President of an Austin-based think tank.
McCord lives in Leander, Texas with her husband John, their two children, John Mark and Estela, and four rescue dogs.
