[Chicken Little]

from McAlester News Capital

..."Oklahomans are paying double the national average in additional premiums to cover the cost of non-reimbursed care," Adelson said. "Cost shifting is greater here than in every other state except New Mexico."...

In 2005, 477,000 Oklahomans will be uninsured for the entire year, according to Families USA. In five years, that number will grow to 523,000...
