An Oklahoma proposal to establish a state-run health insurance exchange passed a test vote on Monday with the support of three lawmakers, according to aTulsa World report.
The measure passed the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on a 7-2 vote, though three Republican senators who voted said they were not finished debating the issue.
The measure, Senate Bill 1629, would intentionally violate the federal law's requirement that individual health insurance buyers be allowed to connect with federal subsidies through the exchange, according to the report. Instead, the measure would allow employers to seek affordable health insurance for their workers and enjoy the lower cost of bundling, according to Sen. Gary Stanislawski (R-Tulsa).
