Abstract:
The Clinton administration has been busy for many months devising a new health care plan to address national needs. Over the last three years, rural health providers and consumers in the State of Oklahoma have also been actively reviewing their state health issues and concerns and determining the priorities. The purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) to illustrate why it is vital to have a strong health care sector in rural Oklahoma; (2) to review the issues and concerns identified by rural Oklahomans; and, (3) to provide a philosophical basis for possible solutions to the barriers identified.
