Read our summary about what happened in the latest meeting of the Universal Health Plan Governance Board. It is some dense and interesting stuff: how exactly do we as a state transition to universal health care plan for every person in Oregon?

Join us on Saturday May 30th at Portland State University! Oregon is on the precipice of a foundational change, and HCAO is at the forefront of this work. Come learn about the plan for Oregon's healthcare transition from the people directly involved, the Universal Health Plan Governance Board.

"For every nurse that graduates in Oregon, two move in." This is a question from the Eugene Town Hall: This plan assumes we have infrastructure and providers to see these patients. Who was responsible for addressing this delivery infrastructure gap? RN Matt Calzia sat on our panel.

One more week to add your name to our HCAO letter to the Universal Health Plan Governance Board. Last month we had 282 people sign on to our testimony regarding increasing opportunities for public engagement. This month's testimony is about the Funding Mechanisms.

The United States is an outlier in cost versus longevity. This kind of comparison is used often to assess the health or the efficacy of healthcare programs around the world. We spent on average over $12,000 per person per year, while other countries spend far less and have longer life expectancy .

Based on what we can see? Oregon is likely to be the first state to transition to Universal Health Care. Truly! It's audacious to say, but it is tangible. There is a transition plan due to the OR Legislature in 2026. Health Care for All Oregon has been advocating for this change for decades.

Jackie, our Portland Chapter Chair, gave a fantastic presentation at last week's Health Care Reform Town Hall. Oregon needs a system that works for all of us, now. HCAO is almost entirely led by a team a dedicated volunteers. Join a local Chapter in your area.

We'd love to see you at an event this week! Find all of these on our events page, and register to join us. Tuesday the 21st: Virtual Health Care Reform Town Hall, with members of the State of Oregon's Universal Health Plan Governance Board.

When "one of the dominoes falls", and a state (like Oregon or Washington!) becomes the first state to move to a universal health care plan, other states will make the move shortly thereafter. We stopped by the Whole Washington Gala in Seattle a few weeks ago. @wholewashington.bsky.social

when you bargained for prices has a larger group, like an entire state with 4.2 million residents, you are able to negotiate lower drug prices. Large healthcare entities have taken it upon themselves to create their own prescription drugs, to cut costs.

Too many people feel trapped in a system where life revolves around work. A 4 day week, without loss of pay, would transform how we work, helping people spend more time with their friends and families. I asked the First Minister if he would commit to expanding the 4 day week in the public sector.

Israel has wiped out 39 villages in South Lebanon and destroyed 40,000 homes. 39 centuries-old historic villages entirely erased from the map. In just 60 days. This is ethnic cleansing. This is terrorism. And not a peep from the complicit “international community”, of course.
