Please ask your representative to support SB 1089.
This Oregon State University engineering student is upset, sad, and worried. He says, "It's tragic that we can't afford basic medical care." "I had a friend whose father couldn't afford his anti-psychotic medications. He ended up killing himself." Like all of us, he thinks it is unfair that patients face both the threat of their illness and financial disaster for their families because of medical costs.
In November 2022, voters approved Measure 111, a constitutional amendment that guarantees every Oregonian cost-effective, clinically appropriate, and affordable health care. SB 1089 establishes a Governance Board to recommend a universal healthcare plan for Oregon. The Board will present to the Legislature a comprehensive implementation plan in 2026.
