The Oklahoma House’s overwhelming embrace this week of state-run Medicaid was very good news in an otherwise very bad legislative session.
In its current form, Senate Bill 131 would keep the Oklahoma Health Care Authority in charge of health care for the working poor and thwart Gov. Kevin Stitt’s efforts to outsource management to private contractors.
OHCA’s track record on this is solid – among the nation’s lowest administrative costs. Is it perfect? Of course not. Nothing is … in the public or private sectors. Still, why try to fix what’s not broken?

With Oklahoma’s 2021 legislative session underway, lawmakers and the governor will need to simultaneously weigh funding options for an expanding state Medicaid program along with pros and cons of revamping the system that lower-income Oklahomans depend on for health care coverage.

More than half a year after voters approved a state question that will require Oklahoma to offer health care coverage to more than 200,000 low-income adults, state officials are still unsure how they’ll pay for it.
The passage of State Question 802 last June started a countdown for the state to start enrolling newly eligible Oklahomans in the state’s Medicaid program, known as SoonerCare, by July 1.

As the state prepares to expand its Medicaid program to include more lower-income Oklahomans, debate has heated up over the potential pros and cons of managed care. (Photo illustration courtesy Oklahoma Watch)
Oklahoma is on the verge of overhauling its Medicaid program and changing how about a quarter of the state’s population receives health care.
Gov. Kevin Stitt and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority announced in late January that the state will contract with four companies to provide managed care for hundreds of thousands of SoonerCare members.
