About

The federal decision to gut Medicaid is getting real for hundreds of thousands of Oregonians. The state is now mailing notices to Oregon Health Plan members about coverage changes, work requirements, more frequent re-certification and other actions that will ultimately reduce the number of people with health coverage. 

Join us to learn about impacts and the tools to keep as many Oregonians covered as possible. 

The second in a series presented in collaboration with the Oregon Health Authority and Comagine Health, this forum brings together community members, providers and advocates to share strategies and help Oregonians navigate the changes ahead.

Amanda Bunger - Executive Director, Tillamook Family Counseling Center (the Community Mental Health Program for Tillamook County)

Max Sprague - Communications Director, Oregon Health Authority

Mercedes Elizalde - Director of Advocacy, Latino Network
