O-EPIC to Offer Health Care to More Individuals

From the Oklahoman:
A state program that helps people pay health insurance premiums has been
expanded to include the unemployed, working disabled and small-business owners.
The Oklahoma Employer/employee Partnership for Insurance Coverage premium
assistance program previously covered only those who met income guidelines and
worked for participating companies.
Enrollment begins today for individuals (1-09-07). Those who don't work for eligible employers
— as long as they meet income guidelines — will qualify for premium assistance
based on a sliding income scale. Monthly costs for participants range from
nothing to $49.
