  • 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.

  • 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.
