An Initiative Is Launched to Try to Ease the State's Health Care Crisis

File Photo

The initiative is called makeOKbetter, and it’s an effort to broaden health care coverage under Insure Oklahoma. Craig Jones, President of the Hospital Association, says it would take federal dollars normally targeted for Medicaid expansion and put them instead into an Oklahoma based plan. He says it could create jobs and help save rural hospitals.

He says for each dollar invested with Insure Oklahoma, nine more would come back to the state…money now being left on the table.
