Health Care for All Oregon

05/26/2026

Congrats to Christine Drazen and Tina Kotek on your successful primaries.

The question really isn’t “what do you think about Oregon’s transition to universal healthcare”, but rather “why will you choose to support it?”

As governor of Oregon, will you support our state’s right to take care of our residents?

As governor of Oregon, will you choose a pathway with obvious cost savings, as seen when we compare our broken healthcare system to less expensive ones around the world?

Will you advocate for a universal healthcare system because of the better health outcomes?

Will you advocate for universal healthcare because it is obviously the morally right thing to do?

Or will you advocate for universal healthcare because that’s what Jesus would have wanted, and what the pope himself believes is a necessity?

Christine and Tina, as Governor or Oregon, how will you ensure that every resident of Oregon receives the care they deserve, which is universal, single player healthcare?

How will you ensure that we fulfill our constitutional obligation of the Right to Healthcare Amendment?

How will you justify that, as governor, you and your family receive the highest tier of PEBB benefits, but your constituents do not?

HCAO can never endorse a candidate.

Become a member of Health Care for All Oregon during our May Membership drive.

For less than the price of a cup of coffee per month, you can take part in this historic movement in Oregon to transition to a universal health care system.

We have a lot of work to do, but the path is clear. Oregon has the best chance of any of the 50 states to move to universal health care, due to the dedicated efforts of Health Care for All Oregon leaders of the last several decades, and our growing coalition of members and supporters around the state.

Join us today. As a member, you can truly play a role in this much-need transformation for our Oregon health care system.

You might have missed last night‘s Townhall in Hillsboro, but there are five more opportunities around the state for you to join the conversation with members of the Universal Health Plan Governance Board.

Last night at the Hillsboro Civic Center, the Washington County Chapter of HCAO hosted a conversation with three of the members of the governance board.

This board is tasked with delivering a transition plan for how our state can move to a universal healthcare plan for every resident.

After presentations from both organizations, we opened up the floor for a Q & A from the audience.

This topic is confusing, and brings together two areas which everybody has an opinion about: healthcare, and government.

Join Health Care for All Oregon and members of the Universal Health Olan Governance Board at one of the next five town halls around the state in the next two weeks.

Saturday, April 18 at the Silverton Grange

Sunday, April 19 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Eugene

Tuesday, April 21 online

Saturday, April 25 at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Bend

Sunday, April 26 at the Medford library

We are so excited to share an opportunity for a fantastic webinar next week, with a physician who was on the front lines of Vermont's attempt to achieve universal healthcare from 2011-2014.

Dr. Deb Richter is the former president of Physicians for a National Health Program, and current chair of the Vermont Health Care for All.

Let's dive in to what worked, and what didn't in Vermont, so we can improve upon our Oregon Plan!

We need to hear from YOU about your preferences in hearing from us!

HCAO has partnered with graduate students from Southern Oregon University on a stakeholder engagement survey. It is SO HELPFUL for our organizations to hear from YOU, about the best ways that you like to hear from us.

We're here on Facebook: is this what works best for you? Do you attend you local chapter meetings? Or, is there another direction you wild like our organization to go?

Please take our Stakeholder Engagement Survey today.
