A statewide coalition launched the Oklahomans Decide Healthcare campaign Wednesday to give voters the choice to approve Medicaid expansion to thousands of uninsured state residents.

"We're normal, everyday Oklahomans that care about this issue and we're growing every day," spokeswoman Amber England said.

The coalition — which includes doctors, nurses, patients, business executives, nonprofit organizations, health care advocates and hospitals — wants to bring more than $1 billion back to Oklahoma every year from Washington, D.C., to expand Medicaid coverage to as many as 200,000 Oklahomans and boost the state’s economy, England said.

England is the only person currently staffing the campaign, which is being funded by individuals and organizations "that care about this issue," said England, who did not disclose the specific donors. England said donors will be disclosed when a ballot initiative clears all hurdles and the governor declares an election date.
