FALLIN FLIP FLOPS AGAIN ON INNOVATION GRANT
Fallin’s administration applies for Obamacare funds after months of stalling
Oklahoma City— Oklahoma Democratic Party Chair, Wallace Collins, said Fallin’s statement on applying for an innovation grant through the Affordable Care Act is another issue on which she has flip-flopped. Why is Governor Fallin constantly changing her mind?
“Mary Fallin’s failed leadership has cost hundreds of thousands of Oklahomans health care by not accepting the $54 million to set up an Oklahoma Insurance Exchange in 2011,” said Chairman Collins. “While Fallin’s poll numbers have dropped 21 points and Joe Dorman outraised her by $28,000 this past period, this innovation grant application is merely a political stunt that her advisers have forced her to make.”
The American Cancer Society’s advocacy group argues in a recent report that: “providing low-income adults and families access to affordable, comprehensive health care coverage is critical in the fight against cancer. Governors and lawmakers have the opportunity to provide millions of Americans health care coverage to help detect cancers early, when treatment is more effective and less costly, and to save lives by preventing some cancers from occurring in the first place.”
Chairman Wallace Collins concluded, “It is time for Mary Fallin to move on and let Joe Dorman take over the Governor’s office. Joe has a proven track-record of leading bipartisan initiatives with great success, and we believe he is the leader that will work to ensure health care is a priority for all Oklahomans.”

we have such a gov. In WI, as well.
Mary fallin needs to correct her slogan
No one cares less about oklahoma citizens
Than Mary fallin …no one!
Our state is last on every good list
First on every bad list!
We need a Change!!!
A very good saying, ” Bad politicians are elected by good people who don’t vote ”
It is very true in this case. When Fallin was elected many good Democrats and non-democrats stayed home and did not vote. We had better choice. She has become corporation and big business slave and has forgotten the hard working ordinary people who elected her. It is a shame.
Bye!!
We need Medicaid for our citizens of Oklahoma, “VOTE FALLIN OUT”!!!
This woman can never be trusted. She doesn’t even believe in what she believes in or at least what she says she believes in. So, when her numbers begin to fall, her beliefs fall in an opposite direction. Who is to say that she won’t stop the Affordable Care Act after she uses it to help in her election? She is not trustworthy and the people in Oklahoma better wake up and realize that. You might believe she is for what you believe in but any day for any reason she can flip flop on anything. We need this woman out of our lives and out of our government! Be heard this year in November! Vote! Don’t rely on others to vote. We all need to know when to vote and where. Register now if you are not registered! Easy trip to your local tag agent to register. Make sure you are heard this year. Get this woman gone!
AMEN…She really is not brightest person to be leading our State. She had a lot of difficulty with HS Chemistry and a constant …” I don’t understand” was one of her complaints… I often wondered how she made it through college. Governorship is not a popularity position but one whose duties is to make hard decisions that is best for our State regardless of Party Affiliation.
