Increases in Medicaid
March 30, 2010
Because of the mandates in the new health care law, the state may see 1/3 of the population enroll for Medicaid, which may cost Oklahoma up to $93 million a year. Currently Oklahoma has a pretty minimal Medicaid program. I wonder if some Oklahomans will second-guess their opposition to the public option or other proposals which would have increased options instead of putting so many people on the state rolls? I am glad we will finally have to pony up and start providing the sort of social services that we should have been providing.
