Executive Council endorses HealthCare for all Oregonians Bill and MayDay Celebration at PSU

April 20, 2017 / PSU-AAUP

At its April 20th meeting the Executive Council endorsed a SUPPORT position for SB 1046, which establishes the Health Care for All Oregon Board to develop, implement and oversee Health Care for All Oregon Plan to be administered by Oregon Health Authority.

 

Rationale: This is a single payer plan that would provide health care coverage for all Oregon residents, allow complete choice of health care providers and save money by taking insurers out of the mix. Senator Dembrow and other legislators sponsored the bill. The experience in other countries shows us that single payer plans provide good health care at much less cost.
