OK HCR1050

Memorializes Congress to provide health care programs for uninsured, low-income, and elderly individuals through block grants to states rather than federal administration

Highlights Oklahoma's existing health care initiatives including the ADvantage Program for Medicaid-eligible individuals to receive home care instead of institutional care

References the "Insure Oklahoma" public/private partnership that enrolled over 30,000 low-income working adults and college students at the time of the resolution

Notes that Oklahoma's SoonerCare program served over 800,000 individuals in 2009

Argues that block grants reduce compliance costs, eliminate waste, reduce federal administrative costs, and make state officials directly accountable to constituents
