Keep OK Covered
HELP INDIVISIBLE OKLAHOMA ORGANIZE TO PROTECT SOONERCARE AND KEEP OKLAHOMA COVERED
To fund tax cuts for corporations and high-income earners, the federal government will be cutting essential services for low-income households. It is estimated that over 15 million people, including about 174,000 Oklahomans, could lose health insurance by 2034 due to Medicaid cuts and new administrative barriers that will cause eligible individuals to lose benefits due to paperwork issues.
Hospitals and clinics – especially in rural and low-income areas – depend on Medicaid to keep their doors open. The Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform, which focuses on developing sustainable healthcare payment systems, reports that 47 rural hospitals in Oklahoma are considered at risk of closing, about 20 of them immediately, due to financial instability exacerbated by the cuts in H.R.1.
Rural hospitals provide healthcare to nearly 2 million Oklahomans. They are a lifeline for quick access to emergency services to those living far from population centers. Hospital closures not only widen the gaps in cost, provider options and service availability, but they also uproot an economic anchor in their communities.
The implementation of the harmful changes in H.R.1 will accelerate after the midterms. While we may not be able to change the course of the federal government in time, we do have the ability to make our voices heard at the state level. What we can do, what we must do, is prevent our state legislature from making matters worse.
Your donation supports the direct costs, like venue rental and printing, of our first KEEP OK COVERED event where we will inform Oklahomans of what is at stake and what they can do to make a difference.
