Adequate health care is a basic human right which should be available to all Oklahomans. Rapidly increasing health care costs threaten to make such care unaffordable to many citizens. Unreimbursed health care services provided to indigent persons cause the cost of services to paying patients to increase in a manner unrelated to the actual cost of services delivered. It is therefore the intent of the Oklahoma Legislature to develop a system of health care delivery that ensures fair and adequate access for all Oklahomans. Further, it is the intent of the Legislature that this system promote the utilization of the most cost-effective health care services including, but not limited to, health care education and prevention and seek to utilize the most cost-effective administrative policies and procedures.
