Oregon is broke because they expanded Medicaid greatly so now they need to focus on climate change? That right to health care will work out well.
the loons on the left can’t governor for shit.
Didn’t the voters in Oregon pass some tax the “rich” referendum several years back?
Dig deep into your pockets, hospitals and insurance companies and cough up the lucre. Don't you DARE pass that cost on to your customers. Free Medicaid for all! Ain't socialism grand?

Marion County (which includes Salem) usually votes conservative.

I voted “no”, but I had no doubt that it would pass.
