| Description | A bill originally designed to allow legislators to opt out of the state health insurance program and save the state money has resulted in only a handful actually doing so.
The Tulsa World called, emailed and used social media in an attempt to determine how many members of the Legislature took advantage of the opt-out provision. Only three legislators - all of whom are retired military employees who are eligible for federal insurance coverage - said they had opted out.
Three lawmakers refused to answer the question and 11 never responded to multiple requests for information over a two-week period. Some 130 lawmakers said they decided to stay on the state health insurance program. |
