To: The Oregon State Senate
Stop playing games with health care
Oregon needs leadership, not obstruction. Oregon needs serious commitment to health care for our most vulnerable, not silly political games. Even the hospitals want you to pass the hospital tax. Stop using health care as a bargaining chip and get the job done.
Why is this important?
Oregon Republicans are playing games with the state budget - and it's time to stop.
They’re blocking the health provider tax, which brings in crucial federal matching dollars for health care for Oregon’s most vulnerable citizens. They’re playing games to try and get their way on other issues. Let's tell the Senate Republicans to put vulnerable Oregonians first.
In May, the Oregon House overwhelmingly passed the health provider tax on a bipartisan vote. This tax gets matched two-for-one by federal dollars and is crucial for balancing the state budget. Let the Republicans know that it’s unacceptable to take the sick and vulnerable hostage to their agenda.
