It is a built in and inherent fault in the system. It is one of the fallacies of Democratic processes. Most are too indifferent or ignorant to make the right decisions.
You end up with tiny special interests doing something that will eventually cause much more grief than good.
Excellent summation. Kansas is similarly afflicted.
The day is coming, soon and very soon, when actual healthcare will be illegal. Instead, we will face compulsory baby-killing, euthanasia, warehousing, mutilation, sterilization, drugging, and various other forms of abuse as the Communists can concoct. Oklahoma is moving rapidly far to the left. I live here and see it more and more with each passing year. We’re still probably one of the most conservative states in the country, but Marxism at the universities has progressed from widely taught but generally avoided to increasingly coercively and compulsorily inculcated with opponents punished, silenced, or marginalized. And this Marxist disease now infects the public schools as all schoolteachers need credentials from universities. Because of the collapse of the family as a functional unit of social organization and the extreme popularity and acceptance of divorce, reattachment, fornication, adultery, and cohabitation, most children lack parents and derive their ethical guidance from public schoolteachers and peers rather than nonexistent, absent, or uninvolved parents.
Wow...in a very conservative state.
Conservatives love pork too. “Pork for me, not for thee!”
I have thought I’ve made a big mistake coming back here to retire until I look around and find not much or no better. Missouri?
Or as my dear old mother called it, Missory.
Looks like you have to go Montana, Dakotas or Idaho. Or you do what lots of us do, move out away from the libtard city centers. I’m in Washington state now. You don’t have to get far from Seattle to live among sane people.
Isn’t OK like 40% Native American ?
We need to repeal the authorizing provision for this.
Yup, and I am one of them but not a blood. Some people around here only speak Cherokee and I speak none.
There is talk today of a lawsuit challenging the election. If it goes forward, one thing that will be looked at is how the notaries were obtained for each ballot. They might be legit, or ?
Sequoyah, your post is both funny and sad regarding our State. You might be overstating it a bit, but in general, you’r right. I was born here and returned as an adult with a young family. It was the right decision leaving California.
However, this loss is interesting. First, it is a stupid Constitutional Amendment! Something like this should NOT be a State Constitutional item. Second, all the advertisement said 802 was to help the rural counties keep their hospitals open. BUT it was the URBAN areas that voted for it. It failed in the rural areas by a big margin. (Coincidentally, election fraud is easier in the urban environment were you are not known personally by the poll attendants.)
The only silver lining (if there is one), is that the feds pay for 90% of the additional costs by new enrollees. This puts Oklahoma on the same footing as a lot of blue states who were already at the trough in a big way.

“Stupid voters.”
For about the last 10 years only about 10% of the Medicaid that came to the office where I work were Americans. Most are able-bodied Hispanic or Muslims.
Just scratched OK off our list of prospective states...
In my neck of the Upstate NY woods, a large percentage are elderly. Some of whom spent down to qualify. That last is a very big problem.
It doesn't mean anything. They'll just print us up new money like they did with everyone's "CoronaCash" checks.
If the Supreme Court strikes down Obamacare next year this expansion goes with it. So if I lived in Oklahoma I wouldn’t get too used to the expanded coverage.

Prolly right but the resulting effects of devaluing the currency and subsequent inflation will hurt every one of us. Inflation is the erosion of purchasing power. An extended period of it can have dire long term consequences. Printing lots of money is playing with fire.
