Health reform is happening. Weigh in.

Are you worried about health care?

Are you uninsured or afraid you might lose coverage or be priced out of the market?

Are you an employer struggling to afford health benefits for your employees?

If so, you’re not alone. Most Oregonians are concerned about health care. Only about one in three have a lot of confidence that they will be able to maintain their present level of health care coverage at an acceptable cost over the next five years. Right now, the Oregon Health Fund Board is working on a plan to ensure access to health care for all Oregonians.

Mandated by state law, this is a public process on a fast time line. How will it work? Will there be a requirement that everyone get insurance? Premium assistance for lower income people? Will universal coverage enhance or compromise the quality of health care Oregonians receive? Most importantly, how will health reform affect you and your family?

Here is your opportunity to weigh in! Voice your ideas and concerns. Raise a question. Hear from and respond to other Oregonians interested in health care.

And by all means, tell the Oregon Health Fund Board what you think should be done about health care. You can learn how to make a public comment to the Oregon Health Fund Board by clicking here.
