Bill aimed at holding health insurance companies accountable stalls at Capitol

A bill that would have held health insurance companies accountable has stalled at the Oklahoma State Capitol. House Bill 2144 would have given Oklahoma patients the right to sue medical insurance companies if their health was affected by denied or delayed treatments.
