A bill heading through the state capitol would allow Oklahomans to opt out of a national health care system.  It's gaining a lot of support, but some say that's not enough.

Representative Mike Ritze of District 80 said, "Freedom of choice, it's nothing to effect what's already in place."

With President Obama's health care plan moving through capitol hill, Oklahoma lawmakers are trying to give people a chance to keep their current coverage.  House Joint Resolution 1054 was approved by the House Rules Committee, and goes to the House floor.  Representative Mike Ritze says a national plan would jeopardize the system, and take 1/6 of our economy.

"We want to give our citizens a lower cost, more accessibility opportunities to where they can keep their own family doctors," Rep. Ritze explained.

Now, 36 states are looking at this type of legislation.  But while Oklahomans for Health Care Reform support the state bill, they say other bills, like preexisting conditions, need to be passed as well.

Jeff Raymond with Oklahomans for Health Care Reform said, "There's an opportunity this year to have meaningful state level health care reform that is not at odds with HJR 1054.  But it's not happening, I hope that changes."

Representative Ritze says the bill should be introduced on the House floor in the next 2 weeks.
