The Universal Health Plan Governance Board will design a simple, equitable, affordable single-payer universal health care system for Oregon. Implementation may start as soon as 2027.
Oregon’s UHP Governance Board recently began working! The board will design a simple, equitable, affordable single-payer universal health care system for Oregon, create the implementation plan, and then oversee and administer the plan. That means the board and staff will do the in-depth research and analysis to come up with the best solutions to every detail. The board includes members with a variety of expertise and backgrounds. They’ll present their plan to the state legislature so that implementation could start as soon as 2027.
The plan will benefit Oregonians by:
👉 Improving the health status of individuals, families and communities;
👉 Defending against threats to the health of the residents of this state;
👉 Protecting individuals from the financial consequences of ill health;
👉Providing equitable access to person-centered care;
👉 Removing cost as a barrier to accessing health care.
