Where is this? I didn't see anything about this. It sounds like BS.

And this has to do with funding? Or something else?

Doesn't this happen in every state where their neighboring state pays better?

These are almost-entirely rural school districts. And it isn't only happening in Oklahoma. Many school districts across the country have gone to four-day weeks when the cost of gas spiked back in 2008. The cost of the buses was often more than the teachers.
In 17 different states there are school districts who operate only four days a week.
Hospitals going bankrupt due to Oklahoma declining ACA Medicaid expansion and cutting Medicaid reimbursement rates.
In the link, it was referring to a small number of rural hospitals, in areas where there are shrinking populations, which consist primarily of the elderly.
Those hospitals are struggling. Just like I assume most everything else there is struggling. Which is why these areas continue to see declining populations.
In areas where populations are stable or growing, no such problems exist.

So where is all the good news happening exactly? What state is "better"? And don't say Texas.

Sounds like you either didn't bother to read the article I posted or didn't comprehend what you read.
Let's give it another go.
"Putnam cites the example of a popular support program for developmental disabilities which gave families of limited means resources to take care of their loved ones. It takes roughly 10 years just to get on a waiting list to be considered for the support waiver to help a disabled person, meaning applications filed in 2006 are just now being considered. Many of the disabled patients have died by the time their files are being considered."

Once again, did you bother to read the article? Did you comprehend what you read?
It's lack of health insurance that is leading to hospital bankruptcies. Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of uninsured in the nation.
Republicans hate government. They want to destroy it. Anything and everything government does that makes us a first class nation they desire to bring down. It is why America's enemies so fervently support Pubs. Oklahoma and Kansas are what they want for the USA. Pubs need to be relegated to the trash heap of history.
Nonsense. Excepting minor differences in policy Republicans luv guv same as you. As evidence I present the ongoing political tools of war, welfarism, corporatism, taxation, spending, debt, police statism, etc that are constants regardless of whichever team is pulling the levers.
If you want to claim the moral high ground you'll repudiate all the aforementioned and embrace freedom.
