Expanding Medicaid will change that for nearly 200,000 Oklahomans, making our families healthier and our economy stronger. It will deliver healthcare to those who need it, including many parents, seniors, and hardworking folks who earn less than $17,000 a year. It will also bring more than a billion of our tax dollars home from Washington, D.C. every year to create jobs, boost our economy, and keep our rural hospitals open. That’s money that 36 other states that have expanded Medicaid get, but Oklahoma has lost out on for years., in support of State Question No. 802 (Learn more)

This is a fairly clear signal that Oklahoma voters were tired of waiting for Oklahoma's elected leaders, who have been playing politics with their health care for the past several years...Those in states that accepted the additional Medicaid funds reaped even more benefits, while states where expansion was rejected saw rural hospitals close and health outcomes stagnate...Because voters know what they would get with SQ 802, which is more than what they can get from those who say they plan to offer some alternative, SQ 802 also deserves voters' support., in support of State Question No. 802 (Learn more)
Medicaid expansion would give the state a stronger workforce, a more financially secure rural health care system and a healthier population., in support of State Question No. 802 (Learn more)
In this instance, the expansion of health insurance coverage proposed by SQ 802 is in solid alignment with the organization’s mission of advancing fiscal responsibility and expanded opportunity for all Oklahomans...We have written extensively and spoken publicly of the health, economic, and fiscal benefits of maximizing federal dollars to expand coverage., in support of State Question No. 802 (Learn more)
