Last week, Oklahoma joined 36 states and D.C. in expanding Medicaid eligibility to people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level — about $17,000 annually. Oklahoma is the fifth state to use a ballot measure — voted on by state residents — to expand eligibility for Medicaid; 200,000 residents are expected to gain coverage. Missouri residents also will weigh in on whether to adopt Medicaid expansion in August.
