Just 5 days left to speak up on this Medicaid proposal

Oklahoma Policy Institute

Dear Friend,

There are just a few days left to speak up to protect health coverage for Oklahoma parents! At the direction of Governor Fallin and the state Legislature, the state Medicaid agency has drafted a plan to cut health care access for very low-income parents if they don't report working enough.

Oklahoma's uninsured rate is already second-highest in the nation, and this plan will only make it worse. Being unable to see a doctor or fill a prescription means even more Oklahoma families dealing with staggering medical bills or untreated illness - two issues that already keep too many of our families from getting ahead.

Your comments matter because they give state and federal lawmakers feedback about how this plan will affect Oklahoma families. You can learn more about the proposal here, and use this form to leave a comment. The deadline to speak up is September 30.

Thank you,

David Blatt and the OK Policy team
