Way to go Oregon!

Aug 2, 2017

Working with republicans in a state that is controlled completely by democrats, Oregon passed a health care bill to cover 95% of adults and 100% of children. It will cover every man, woman, and other preferred gender pronouns. It will also cover illegal immigrants.

Passing the bill did require a tax increase, but it is good to see a state take on problems with Obamacare at the state level. I hope that more states will work locally to solve some of our problems.

Bob R/CA No, you don't. Your party is going to get dragged kicking and screaming to better healthcare, just as it was dragged kicking and screaming to the ACA. And after all your kicking, and your screaming, you're going to again enjoy better healthcare. And then, without missing a beat, get back to your kicking and screaming.

Tim Finnegan Either do you. Does that make it so? My party is actually nonexistent. I'm registered as an independent.

I'm all for the states taking care of things. You however want to make sure it becomes a federal program instead of a state program. You only want to accept democrat ideas and your party will do nothing in a bipartisan manner when it co...See More

Bob R/CA I don't insist it become a federal program - I want the federal program to set the minimum standards for coverage. Like civil rights, if the states want to surpass those minimum standards, that's fine with me.
