Oregon Health Fund Board - Community Meeting in La Grande
Submitted by admin on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 12:12pm.
Event Description
Health care is on everyone's mind. Health insurance costs, quality of care, access in our communities - there are many concerns which affect us all. While the health care system is broken, there’s currently a process in place to fix it.
Oregon leaders are developing a proposal for quality, affordable health care for Oregonians. But what does that mean for you?
Join us at a community near you for an important discussion on health care in Oregon. These events are free and open to the public. Your input will help shape the future of health care in our state. Everyone’s voice matters:
- people with or without health care
- employers
- seniors
- people with disabilities
You can also get involved in the conversation online at a new website on health reform in Oregon. Share your views at www.talkhealthreform.org.
