Urgent: Speak up for SoonerCare families

If this email is not displaying correctly, you can view it in your browser.   Dear Friend, At the direction of the Legislature and Governor Fallin, the state Medicaid agency has made a plan to cut SoonerCare coverage for very low-income parents who don’t meet work and reporting requirements. Earlier this year, more than 1,200 Oklahomans submitted public comments about that proposal, and more than 99 percent of the comments opposed it. Now we need you to speak out again. The state has submitted the proposal to the federal government - and opened another public comment period. We have just a few weeks to speak up again and tell DC why this proposal will harm Oklahoma parents and families. Remember: Most parents enrolled in SoonerCare who can work already do. Most of those who don’t work have barriers to working that this proposal doesn’t fix; Cutting health coverage makes it harder for parents get and keep a job; Loss of health coverage puts whole families at risk for bankruptcy and health emergencies; This proposal creates a catch-22, putting parents at risk of losing Medicaid because they work too much - with no other health coverage options. You can learn more about the plan and submit a comment here by January 18th. Oklahoma families are counting on you - and so are we.
