Medicaid Block Grants, Sentence Enhancements, Real ID Compliance & More

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about Governor Stitt's suggestion for Oklahoma to use Medicaid block grants rather than going with Medicaid expansion, an initiative petition to end certain sentencing enhancements for nonviolent offenses and the State Insurance Commissioner chooses to not enforce a law giving patients the right to choose a pharmacy provider.

The trio also discusses an announcement from Oklahoma officials of the state finally getting in compliance with Real ID and Tulsans overwhelming approve the renewal package for Improve Our Tulsa.
