2010 Issue Priorities

HEALTHY KIDS PAGE
Oregon Action believes all people have a right to affordable, quality health care when they need it from a provider of their choice at a cost they can afford. Passage of Oregon House Bill 2009 and 2116 in the 2009 session was a good step in th right direction. The establishment of the Oregon Health Policy Board and expanding healthcare benefits to 95% of Oregon's Kids is a major victory that we celebrate  Oregon Action is partnering with the State of Oregon to help sign up your eligible children. Call or email Jennifer Mangnall, Oregon Action Healthy Kids Organizer to sign up your eligible children. Oregon Action will continue to educate, inform and mobilize individuals, small business owners and other non-profit allies in state, regional and federal health care reform activities.

Oregon Action Healthy Kids Program
Recent legislation that Oregon Action worked feverishly on has come to fruition and the state has extended free and low cost health care coverage for 95% of Oregon's children. We have partnered with the new Healthy Kids program to conduct outreach and support families in enrollment.
