Oklahoma Senate approves framework, restrictions for Stitt s Medicaid plan Carmen Forman, Oklahoman © JIM BECKEL, THE OKLAHOMAN Interior of the Oklahoma State Capitol.

Kevin Stitt s plan to outsource care for most Medicaid recipients.   The passage of an updated version of Senate Bill 131 gives opponents of third-party managed care a victory, but perhaps not the victory they wanted. The latest version of the bill did not include House-approved language that sought to undo Stitt s plan entirely by requiring the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to better manage Medicaid care in-house, as opposed to relying on four health insurance giants.
