In its last session, the Oregon Legislature passed the “Health Care Transformation Act” that is aimed at streamlining and reducing costs of providing health care to the low income and disabled folks who qualify for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP).

The OHP uses state tax dollars and federal Medicaid dollars (also tax dollars) and provides services in physical health (doctors, hospitals, etc.), mental health, and dental health. All of the treatment areas are facing issues of rising costs for services and decreasing funding.

Our primary fund raising event for the year is only a week away and our ticket sales are below expectations, and in fact below what we’ll need to keep the Headquarters open all of next year. So if it our intent to keep and maintain HQ, we’re all going to have to step up. We either get it done next week at the Reagan Dinner, or early next year we’re going to have to figure out some additional fund raising activities. No one wants to do that, especially those of us who will have to organize it, so this is a plea to those of you who haven’t yet purchase tickets to the Reagan Dinner, to please do so now. We need a final head count by Monday.
