I am a health insurance broker and deal with this every day for my job.

If you fall below the federal poverty line you don't get help on the ACA because you are supposed to get Medicaid, which in Oklahoma is dubbed SoonerCare.

But our stupid former governor FALLIN, (failin) opted not to accept Medicaid expansion "to stick to to Obama," when all it did was harm the poorest people in this state.

Question 802 should pass tomorrow.
