Oklahoma says no to the Affordable Health Care Act
Oklahoma goes all in, on it`s gamble against the Affordable Health Care Act.
Oklahoma
leaders have decided we will not co-operate with the feds. Governor
Mary Fallin says the Sooner State will not setup a federal health
exchange and will not modify Medicaid as required by the Affordable
Health Care Act or what some are calling Obama-care.
Republican
leaders were worried that spending money on a state-based exchange could
be a waste because the federal government may not accept any plan
created by Oklahoma.
The move also keeps Oklahoma`s current lawsuit against the federal government alive.
Oklahoma is suing over the IRS` rule that promises to impose a penalty on employers - despite a loophole in the health care law.
The Attorney General says despite apparent losses, Oklahoma and other states have made ground in the fight against the law.
The
governor`s opposition say it puts Oklahoma on the hook for millions of
dollars that the federal government promised to pick up if we created
our own exchange.
Democrat lawmakers say the governor`s policy
towards the Affordable Health Care Act hinders Oklahomans from getting
health insurance.

Judge orders Okla. pastor to trial on murder count
May 25, 2013 19:32 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A judge says the pastor of an Oklahoma City church must stand trial in the shooting death of his son-in-law.
Fifty-three-year old Michael Elder is charged in the death of 27-year-old Gary Davidson last February. Davidson was married to Elder's daughter.
The Oklahoman reports (http://bit.ly/16Wg62Z ) that Judge Ray C. Elliott on Friday ordered Elder to stand trial after Davidson's wife and girlfriend each told different stories. April Davidson said she feared for her life while fighting with Davidson in the front seat of a pickup truck. Judith Chism said Davidson was trying to exit the truck from a rear seat when he was shot.
Defense lawyers have argued Davidson fired the gun in self-defense.
Elder is senior pastor at The Cross Baptist Church. He was being held without bail.
