Also, no expansion of Medicaid.
Governor Mary Fallin announced Monday that she has informed U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius that Oklahoma will not pursue the creation of its own health insurance exchange and that Oklahoma will not be participating in the Obama Administration's proposed expansion of Medicaid. She says it would not benefit Oklahoma taxpayers to actively support and fund a new government program that will ultimately be under the control of the federal government. She says the Medicaid expansion would require cuts to important government priorities such as education and public safety.
