Quote of the Day | August 27, 2019 - Oklahoma Policy Institute

“Lawmakers who have blocked Medicaid expansion in Oklahoma have kept more than a billion dollars of our tax dollars from coming back home from Washington every year. That money could have kept hospitals from closing and created jobs, boosted our economy, but it went to 36 other states that expanded Medicaid. SQ 802 needs to be on the ballot in Oklahoma.”
