Oklahoma lawmakers are proposing to move Medicaid expansion from the state constitution to statutes, making it easier to change. This comes after lawmakers agreed to pay for about half of the state's health care budget request of $500,500. The proposal comes as part of a larger effort to make public education more accessible and more affordable. The proposed changes come after lawmakers voted to expand Medicaid in 2020, but this vote is set to take place in August. The most significant investment in public education in the history of Oklahoma was $4 billion, which includes $85 million towards giving teachers a pay raise. Critics argue that this investment isn't adequate for current state of education.
