Medicaid expansion ballot initiative signature collection to begin July 31

Posted on: 7/19/19


The SQ 802 ballot initiative has been released by the Oklahoma secretary of state and so the Oklahomans Decide Healthcare signature petition drive will begin July 31. From that date, supporters will have 90 days to collect more than 200,000 signatures. If you support providing health insurance to nearly 200,000 Oklahomans that will help keep rural hospitals open and improve the economy in your community, please do the following:
  • Text MEDICAID to 474747 to join the movement and receive updates.
  • If you would like to volunteer in your community to help with the SQ 802 petition drive, email the Oklahoma Hospital Association at [email protected] giving your name, cell phone, personal email and the name of the hospital where you work. OHA will provide training.
  • Let your hospital leadership know that you want to help.
OHA will be providing vital information to hospital CEOs next week as we begin this process. Watch for information and materials. (Lynne White)
