Writing today in the Enid News & Eagle, OCPA president Jonathan Small critiques the Oklahoma Health Care Authority's latest proposal to expand Medicaid in the state and explains options to reform the program instead.
The OHCA proposal is simply a backdoor way to expand Obamacare in Oklahoma, with potential future costs that would keep us in a continuous budget crisis. If your bucket has a hole in it, you don’t poke more holes and just pour more water into it to keep up. You first patch the hole. That is the approach we should take to Medicaid.
