The U.S. House on Thursday denounced the new Medicaid initiative embraced by Gov. Kevin Sttt, saying the demonstration program was “illegal” and “cruel.”

U.S. Rep. Kendra Horn, D-Oklahoma City, said the plan “would slash and cap Medicaid, hurting the people Medicaid is supposed to help."

The House statement of disapproval came on a non-binding resolution that will have no legal effect and won’t prevent Stitt from employing the Trump administration’s proposal. The resolution passed 223 to 190; no Republicans voted for it.

Stitt said last week the Trump guidelines would allow Oklahoma to expand its Medicaid coverage with a plan tailored to control costs, though he offered no specifics. Medicaid is a federal-state health insurance program for low-income people.
