LA VISIÓN GENERAL

LA VISIÓN GENERAL

Por la líder demócrata del Senado, Julia Kirt

El Capitolio estatal puede estar un poco más tranquilo en verano, porque la sesión legislativa ordinaria ha terminado, así que no estamos debatiendo ni votando proyectos de ley en esta época del año. Pero este periodo del calendario, conocido como el interino, nos permite más tiempo para profundizar en temas importantes. Estas audiencias oficiales ofrecen a los legisladores y al público una visión más completa sobre los temas clave que podríamos estar considerando en la próxima Legislatura. Las audiencias también nos brindan la oportunidad de contar con expertos que puedan aportar información y contarnos cómo otros estados han abordado con éxito estos problemas.

 

Los demócratas del Senado solicitaron este año 31 estudios provisionales, destinados a resolver problemas reales y mejorar la vida de las personas. Los temas abarcan desde la salud y la salud mental hasta la seguridad pública, la educación, el desarrollo económico y mucho más. Por ejemplo, la senadora Carri Hicks está trabajando en el coste de los medicamentos con receta. Dado que hay tanta inacción en Washington D.C., ella ha estado trabajando duro a nivel estatal para reducir esos costes, incluyendo la reducción del precio de los medicamentos para la diabetes. La senadora Hicks también está trabajando en nuestros beneficios farmacéuticos: si tienes un seguro que ofrece recetas, está buscando cómo podemos reducir esos costes también.

 

El senador Mark Mann sigue trabajando en cómo Oklahoma puede abordar mejor la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Quiere coordinar mejor a nivel estatal para facilitar el acceso de los habitantes de Oklahoma a información y servicios para el Alzheimer y otras formas de demencia. Existen avances importantes en la detección precoz y en los medicamentos que pueden ralentizar la progresión de la demencia, pero muchas personas pueden no conocerlos ni saber cómo empezar. Este estudio analizará cómo podemos coordinar mejor el acceso a la información y a los programas para ayudar a pacientes y cuidadores.

 

La senadora Nikki Nice está analizando la política alimentaria y cómo integramos tanto la agricultura urbana como la rural, asegurándonos de que los productores de todo el estado reciban políticas que les importen, no solo las grandes operaciones que pueden pagar a los lobistas, sino también las que tienen operaciones más pequeñas tanto en comunidades rurales como urbanas. Este es un esfuerzo que puede ayudar a los productores a coordinarse entre sí, llegar a nuevos mercados y aumentar el acceso a productos saludables y locales para más habitantes de Oklahoma.

 

También quiero mencionar uno de mis estudios sobre salud mental y tutores. Cuando alguien tiene una enfermedad mental grave, sus seres queridos, como su cónyuge o familia, pueden solicitar una tutela legal para ayudar en las decisiones sobre el cuidado y los siguientes pasos. Pero he escuchado a electores y defensores que han experimentado una desconexión entre centros de tratamiento y tutores. Este es un papel difícil para un ser querido, pero puede marcar una gran diferencia en los resultados para los pacientes; debemos asegurarnos de que existan buenos procesos para ayudar a los tutores y que dispongan de la información necesaria para asistir en la transición a casa tras la hospitalización, incluyendo medicación, alojamiento y otros desafíos.

 

Para obtener más información sobre los próximos estudios provisionales, puedes visitar las páginas web del Senado o la Cámara para consultar los avisos de reuniones. El público está invitado a asistir a estas audiencias, o puede ver la retransmisión en directo. Simplemente ve a oksenate.gov o okhouse.gov para saber más.

 

Si tienes alguna pregunta o duda, contáctame en el 405-521-5636 o Julia.Kirt@oksenate.gov. Queremos saber de ti. ¡Adelante!

 

ENGLISH:

The Big Picture

By Senate Democratic Leader Julia Kirt

The state Capitol might be a little quieter in the summer – that’s because the regular legislative session has ended, so we’re not debating or voting on bills this time of year. But this period in the calendar, known as the interim, allows us more time to take a deep dive into important topics. These official hearings give lawmakers and the public a fuller picture about key issues that we may be considering in the next Legislature. The hearings also give us an opportunity to bring in experts who can provide background and tell us about how other states have successfully addressed these issues.

 

Senate Democrats requested 31 interim studies this year, aimed at solving real problems and improving people’s lives. The topics range from health and mental health to public safety, education, economic development and more. For example, Senator Carri Hicks is working on the cost of prescription drugs. Since there’s so much inaction in Washington D.C., she’s really been working hard at the state level to bring those costs down, including bringing down the price of diabetes medications. Senator Hicks is also working on our pharmacy benefits – if you have insurance that provides prescriptions, she’s looking at how we can keep those costs down as well.

 

Senator Mark Mann is continuing to work on how Oklahoma can better address Alzheimer’s disease. He wants to better coordinate at the state level to make it easier for Oklahomans to access information and services for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. There are important advancements in early detection and medications that can slow dementia progression, but many people may not know about them or how to get started. This study will look at how we can better coordinate access to information and programs to help patients and caregivers.

 

Senator Nikki Nice is looking at food policy and how we integrate both urban and rural agriculture, making sure producers all across the state are getting policies that matter for them – not just the big operations that can afford to pay for lobbyists, but also those who have smaller operations in both rural and urban communities. This is an effort that can help producers coordinate with each other, reach new markets, and increase access to healthy, locally grown produce for more Oklahomans.

 

I also want to mention one of my studies about mental health and guardians. When someone has severe mental illness, their loved ones, such as their spouse or family, can seek a legal guardianship to help with decisions about care and next steps. But I’ve heard from constituents and advocates who’ve experienced a disconnect between treatment facilities and guardians. This is a hard role for a loved one to take on, but it can make a huge difference in the outcomes for patients – we need to make sure there are good processes to help guardians so they have the information they need to assist with the transition home after inpatient care, including medications, housing and other challenges.

 

To find out more about upcoming interim studies, you can visit the Senate or House websites to check out meeting notices. The public is welcome to attend these hearings, or you can watch the live stream. Just go to oksenate.gov or okhouse.gov to learn more.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, contact me at 405-521-5636 or Julia.Kirt@oksenate.gov.?We want to hear from you. Onward!

    HOW CAN I EASILY RESTORE MY STOLEN FUNDS? GET IN TOUCH WITH WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER I want to use this Medium to say big thanks to WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER. I met someone online. He told me how he was making money in the crypto world and got me involved. At first, I was making money until I invested up to $525,000 in this investment scheme. When it came time to take my profit after the end of the contract, they asked for a commission, which I paid another $15,000. They kept asking for more until I talked to a friend about it. She promised to speak to her husband, who happened to know a company specializing in recovering assets lost through fake investment companies. They gave me the contact for WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER. After reaching out to them, they asked for all the necessary details about the investment and got to work. They kept giving me follow-up updates, and I can’t describe my relief when they called me after two days to say that my investment and profit had been completely recovered. I just had to post this on every page I can to let people know that they can still recover their lost investment. I highly recommend WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER.

    I wanted to know how to track my partner phone without her knowing and was pleasantly surprised to reach out to HACK TECH. It is a great hacker for tracking devices. He built a spy app for me that enables me to trace her phone activities without her ever knowing. I highly recommend the services to anyone who needs to keep track of their spouse or loved ones. The user interface is very easy to use and understand. It allows me to view all of my wife’s activities on the target device, location tracking, and other features such as social media account monitoring. This hacker has saved me a lot of time and worry in knowing that I can keep tabs on her without her ever knowing. Highly recommend his services to anyone who needs his services.
