      <image:title>Home - Take Action</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oklahoma lawmakers must act now. By raising the Medicaid reimbursement rate to align with the actual cost of care, we can ensure that vulnerable seniors and individuals with intellectual disabilities do not face the risk of being deprived of high-quality care. Together, let's champion this cause and transform the landscape of senior care in Oklahoma. Our seniors deserve dignified and compassionate support, and it starts with closing the Medicaid funding gap.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Join Us</image:title>
      <image:caption>in honoring and supporting Oklahoma's vulnerable seniors by taking action to close the Medicaid funding gap. According to estimates from the OHCA, nursing home patients on Medicaid receive $44 less per day than the actual cost of care, creating significant strain on the state's long-term care infrastructure. It's time for change. The Medicaid funding gap in Oklahoma is not just a financial issue; it's a moral imperative. It's contributing to a workforce crisis and threatening the future of senior care at a crucial time – as the demand for skilled nursing rises with the aging Baby Boomer population.</image:caption>
