The pandemic is not a good reason to expand a flawed safety net | American Enterprise Institute - AEI

7/23/2020

Comments

 
It’s time to enact policies that expect work in exchange for benefits, writes AEI scholar Angela Rachidi.


Mindlessly expanding safety net programs in the wake of COVID-19 reinforces a broken approach. Instead, we need to reduce steep “taxes” on low-income families for earning more from work and enact policies that expect work in exchange for benefits.

Medicaid fraud still a problem in Oklahoma

7/23/2020

Comments

 
As medical-welfare enrollment continues to grow, it’s imperative that the State of Oklahoma weed out fraud, whether stemming from providers or enrollees.


Earlier this month the DOJ announced an Oklahoma City-based specialty hospital and physician group will pay $72.3 million to resolve allegations under the False Claims Act and the Oklahoma Medicaid False Claims Act.

7/22/2020

Comments

 
Oklahoma officials are increasing the number of hospital beds available to better handle a potential surge in COVID-19 cases in Oklahoma.


Even with the potential for increased patients, however, hospital officials said their systems can handle a surge with regard to bed space, staffing, and intensive care unit (ICU) resources.

    Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs

      For 25 years, OCPA has served as Oklahoma’s largest and most influential free-market based think tank. We conduct research and analysis of public issues in Oklahoma from a perspective of limited government, individual liberty, and a free-market economy.
      Over the years, OCPA has steadily increased in breadth, scope and ultimately, effectiveness. As long as government exists, there needs to be an organization to keep it accountable. In Oklahoma, we are that organization. And our policy work provides the road map for our state’s success.
      Policy matters because people matter. It matters that students attend high-quality schools. It matters that small business owners are free from red tape. It matters that government is responsible and limited. It matters that the most vulnerable have access to opportunity.
      And you matter to us.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
