I don’t have insurance. Haven’t had ir for 25 years. I spend maybe 5% of my income(50k/year) on health care.
>>The new report also looked at household spending on health care in 2021 and found Oregonians are paying on average $8,000 a year on their health.
Sorry, I don’t buy it - unless they are counting health insurance premiums that are largely paid for by employers - but $8K in out-of-pocket costs *on average* - no way.
