Sunday letters: 'The Chicago of the South'
Houston Chronicle - Medicare for All may work Re: "This makes us ill" (Opinion, Aug. 8): I have never been able to keep or select my own medical provider even though I have been privately insured through my employers since 1972. The insurance company decides which providers are in-network, when it will pay for the care, and what it will pay when providers are outside its network. I am currently waiting to hear from my employer-provided insurance carrier whether I will have to change doctors after a 30-year relationship. The arguments about private insurance versus Medicare for All or the public option fail to adequately address this reality. What would happen under those proposals is executives won't make $25 million in compensation, deductibles and co-pays will be reduced, and costs will go down. Maybe Medicare for All will be better. Every provider will know the rules and not spend so much time negotiating to get patient care reduced and their profits increased. Patricia Garris, Spring Who needs to carr

NewsOK.com - A year after medical marijuana became legal in Oklahoma, state lawmakers and marijuana advocates seem to have found a balance in implementing State Question 788 and moving the industry forward into the near future. Sweeping legislation ? the result of a major compromise between legislators and cannabis advocates ? to regulate the medical marijuana industry will go into effect later this month. Meanwhile, there are whispers of an initiative petition to put the question of legalizing recreational marijuana to a statewide vote, which could shake up Oklahoma's fledgling marijuana industry and the new regulatory framework.

NewsOK.com - As soon as State Question 788 passed in 2018, a team from OU Medicine went to work. "We realized that we needed to have a structure around medical marijuana to educate providers and effectively respond to patients," said Dr. Lynn Mitchell, chief medical officer of OU Physicians, the state's largest physician group. What should those doctors tell patients seeking advice about cannabis as a treatment? "We want everyone to have a basic knowledge around medical marijuana ? where to find out more information, who to call, those kinds of things ? because we certainly owe that to our patients," Mitchell said.
