CCH® BENEFITS — 05/25/11

Oklahoma. Governor Mary Fallin has turned down a $54 million early innovator grant from the Department of Health of Human Services (HHS) to help the state develop a health insurance exchange. Earlier this year, the HHS allocated $241 million in early innovator grants to help build the infrastructure needed to support health insurance exchanges under the ACA. Oklahoma was one of seven states who received a portion of those funds. Local Republicans criticized Ms. Fallin for accepting the funds, but are now commending her rejection of the funding. Ms. Fallin still plans to implement the health insurance exchange. For more information, visit http://www.ok.gov/governor/.
