Positions
Healthcare
Has supported Oklahoma Medicaid expansion while also backing a move to use managed-care contracts with private insurers (SoonerSelect) to administer Medicaid, and has been involved in legislative actions and public statements related to Medicaid funding and privatization. Positions combine support for expanding coverage with support for market-oriented managed-care implementation.
