OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism Is a Public Health Crisis OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism is a Public Health Crisis Purpose • Declare racism as a public health crisis in Oregon. • Acknowledge Oregon’s racist history and its current day impact on policies and systems that perpetuate in- stitutional racism which causes harm, trauma, illness and death to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Oregonians, and the need to heal these injustices through accelerated intentional actions. • Articulate investments and strategies needed to address health inequities among BIPOC Oregonians and Oregon Tribes: Invest in the following key strategies: 1. The collection of race, ethnicity, language, and disability (REAL-D) data is critical for better understanding population health by systematically measuring more granular level data to reveal the unique inequities faced by specific communities across the state. In turn, this data informs future investments in addressing health inequi- ties to focus efforts specifically where they are needed most and thereby more effectively and efficiently use and save state resources. a. Expands the collection of REAL-D data to all state agencies, subcontractors and vendors as practica- ble. b. Clarifies representation on advisory committees that informs updates to data collection standards are diverse and include at minimum: BIPOC community members, the nine federally recognized Oregon Tribes (if there is interest in participating), people with disabilities, and people with limited English profi- ciency. 2. Local public health authorities provide data to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to develop a statewide mobile health unit plan. These units will focus on providing basic health, behavioral health, oral health, and connection to other wraparound services specifically for BIPOC communities. Mobile unit staff will be culturally and linguisti- cally diverse and reflective of the communities they serve. A pilot program will also be developed in an effort to elicit lessons learned that will inform OHA’s statewide plan. 3. Oregon Advocacy Commission staffs population specific affinity groups by race with statewide membership to identify future strategies and investments needed to address institutional racism and health equity. Communi- ty involvement will be supported with stipends. 4. Creates an oversight body in Oregon Health Authority to assess language access compliance for all health systems across the state. Technical assistance will be provided to facilitate compliance. 5. Adds staff to the Legislature who will develop racial health equity analysis criteria, analyze all future legisla- tion for health equity considerations, and report findings back to respective committees. 6. Creates an Equity Coordinator for the Legislature to address and coordinate ADA and language accessibility barriers for better public participation in the legislative process. The Equity Coordinator will also form partner- ships with diverse communities to develop a needs assessment and program efficacy plan. Community involve- ment will be supported with stipends. Also allocate resources to support these efforts. Without hearing from peo- ple with lived experience, the opportunity to address unintended consequences is lost. We will have more equi- table policies, and ultimately more opportunities to address institutional racism when more people have the sup- ports they need to be able to participate in the legislative process. Better policies supporting the health of all people will equate to increased health and wellness in communities when negative consequences are ad- dressed prior to becoming law. OARs 943-070-0000 thru 943-070-007: These Oregon Administrative Rules establish uniform standards and practices for the collection of data on race, ethnicity, preferred spoken or signed and preferred written language, and disability status by the Oregon Health Authority and DHS.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP February 14, 2021 HB 3108 – Increased Access to Primary Care Rep. Rachel Prusak (D-Tualatin) led a work group during the interim to address access barriers like income, insurance, geographical distance and race and ethnicity. “Research consistently demonstrates that access to primary care reduces disparities in health outcomes, improves health system efficiency, and reduces health system costs.” Oregon also ranks as the second worst state in the nation for access to behavioral health services, says Prusak, and she is confident that some of the policies in HB 3108 can help change that. The bill requires insurers to cover three primary care visits with no cost-sharing to the patient and to assign members to a primary care provider if they do not choose for themselves. The bill also requires insurers to cover physical and behavioral health visits conducted on the same day, and to charge just one copay the visits. Insurers testified in support of the bill, championing in particular the assignment component of the bill, “it is essential for us to move forward with value-based payment. In order for providers to take on risk, and in order for payers to assign that risk and effectively measure quality and patient outcomes, we need to tie people to a primary care provider” Providence’s Jessica Adamson told the Committee. Providence is also supportive of allowing patients to change their provider at any time. Rep Christine Drazan (R-Canby) asked Adamson whether the mandates in the bill would impact cost negatively. Adamson responded that while there are some specialty services that occur in the primary care setting, there aren’t a lot of “upper end” psychiatric services provided there.

  • BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of Texas Abortion
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON HOUSE DEMOCRATS For Immediate Release For more information, Contact: Sep. 2, 2021 Hannah Kurowski: [email protected] CORRECTION: BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of SB 8, Calls for Protection of Abortion as Essential Health Care CORRECTION The following members of the BIPOC Caucus sign onto this statement: • Senators: Lew Frederick, Kayse Jama, James Manning • Representatives: Teresa Alonso Leon, Wlnsvey Campos, Andrea Valderrama, Mark Meek, Khanh Pham, Ricki Ruiz, Andrea Salinas, Tawna Sanchez SALEM, OR -- The Legislative Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus released the following statement after the Texas Governor signed into law Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) to ban abortions after six weeks, as well as encourages private citizens to act as bounty hunters: “Roe vs Wade enshrined reproductive health care as a constitutionally protected right. In Oregon, we have a long history of protecting reproductive rights and removing barriers to accessing abortion because we know abortion is healthcare. "If SB 8 remains in effect without intervention from courts, any abortion providers who remain operational are facing a crushing wave of lawsuits that they will likely be unable to litigate. This back-door ban presents harm to people facing severe restrictions on important health care protections. "BIPOC communities are most often forced to resort to unsafe abortions due to reproductive healthcare restrictions, a symptom of institutionalized white supremacy and patriarchy. SB 8 once again disproportionately takes away our constitutional right to make decisions about our own bodies as a worst case scenario, and forces those with the resources to travel across state lines for healthcare access as a best case scenario.

The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience.

  • PRESS RELEASE Oregon Legislature's BIPOC Caucus Applauds Efforts to Improve Legislative Diversity and Access
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON LEGISLATIVE BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC) CAUCUS For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: Jan. 5, 2021 Aaron Fiedler: 503-986-1904 [email protected] Oregon Legislature’s BIPOC Caucus Applauds Efforts to Improve Legislative Diversity and Access Issues call to keep up the work to build a more equitable Capitol SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Legislature’s Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus issued the following statement on the announcement of proactive steps to increase diversity in the Oregon Legislature and begin to right historic wrongs: “For the last year, we have worked together to build on the momentum of this historic moment to finally tackle generations of racial injustice and inequality in Oregon. With the help of outside organizations and the voices of countless Oregonians, we have been able to do incredible work to get resources to historically underserved communities, reform our broken criminal justice system, bring accountability to law enforcement across the state and take the first steps in building a more just and equitable Oregon for all. “We do this work on land stolen from indigenous people under a state constitution that, at its founding, specifically banned people of color. We are regularly reminded of this history whenever we sit at our desks on the floors of the Oregon House of Representatives and Oregon Senate, where murals of white settlers and the names of mostly white men hang over our heads. And, we are reminded at the historical lack of BIPOC representation in the halls of the Oregon Capitol with the acknowledgement that this is the most diverse legislature Oregon has ever had.

  • Today We Are Unified in Calling on Residents and Visitors to Our
    Today we are unified in calling on residents and visitors to our respective communities to refrain from violence in the exercise of our First Amendment rights to free speech and to peaceably assemble. Black Lives Matter. Violence has no place in civic engagement and protest. Throughout 2020, and in too many years prior, we have born witness to instances of racial injustice, police brutality and the rise of white supremacist rhetoric throughout our country, and right here at home. Even now we are experiencing unhelpful and inflammatory comments and acts, from many quarters, including the highest office in the land. The overwhelming majority of our community who have risen to protest for social justice and against racial inequities have done so peacefully, in keeping with public health guidelines and within the bounds protected by our state and federal constitutions. Unfortunately, there are some individuals who have chosen violence over peaceful protest, violence towards other protestors, violence towards police officers and even an instance of deadly violence experienced recently in downtown Portland. While we recognize the outrage toward racial injustice is the foundation for the past 100+ days of protest, we call on everyone in our community seeking to confront racial injustice and to demand police accountability to forgo the path of violence. We invite every member of our respective communities to continue to engage with our governments, to hold us accountable and to contribute to and facilitate a transformation away from racist systems and towards a more equitable, just community. Similarly, we ask those who may want to demonstrate to do so peacefully and safely.
