@tylertalley22@okcapitoldome Ha! I worked for Kay Floyd in the House that session and that was her apple that she had me toss from the gallery and run! Lol.
BREAKING: With 100% precincts reporting in, #SQ802 has passed and Oklahoma will become the 37th state to pass Medicaid expansion.
State officials project 215,00 low-income adults will become newly eligible for health coverage when the expansion takes effect by July 1, 2021
Lots of takeaways in the coming days, but something to take away for now is that Urban Okla (by and large) equalled and bested Rural Okla in an absolute dogfight. We saw this with MMJ -less polarising than 802- but tonight is a faint glimmer of hope for Dems in future statewides.
Almost Final: With just 15 precincts left (out of 1948), the yes on #sq802 lead is at a healthy 6,501 (337,585 to 331,084).
Barring a major surge of no votes, Oklahoma is about to pass Medicaid expansion #okprimary
Dear elected officials,
Enough with the keep calm & carry on bullshit. Seriously. You are undermining the best advice of public health experts. You are ignoring what’s happening to fellow humans a few weeks ahead of us. You are making things worse. Please, please slow the spread.
If you want to do something for restaurant workers, use your power to push for policies that keep them from having to choose between economic survival and their health. Make sure they don’t get evicted or lose basic services. Make sure everyone who needs a test gets one for free!
Currently, for every $1 the state spends, the state receives $1.66 in federal matching funds. Any decrease in state funding results in a loss of federal matching funds. #okhca
@igobymeg@cassibob My first experience of classroom bs stress this year 😬 I’ve escaped unscathed for so long and at lunch I lunch I had to address Mickey Mouse Valentine’s Day cards in the DG parking lot by Connor’s school FOR 2 YEAR OLDS.
