Oregon Health Plan

Twenty-five Democratic-led states plus the District of Columbia have sued the Trump administration over its new work requirements for people who get their health insurance through Medicaid.

A free Oregon health care program for adults who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid could have improperly given out $15 million in payments related to benefits for recipients, according to a recent audit of state-managed federal programs.

A group of financial stakeholders is meeting regularly to advise the governor on how to prepare for reduced federal funding for Medicaid. The program is funded by taxpayers and insures one in three Oregonians.

‘It’s going to be bad for people with disabilities.’

Beginning in 2027, Oregonians must prove they work to receive health insurance coverage under Medicaid.

The architect of Oregon’s Medicaid reform suggests instead of cutting Medicaid, the federal government should reform it, like Oregon did.

Without legislative action, taxes that fund Medicaid will sunset in the next two years, leaving a hole in the state’s budget.

The hospital trade association said Medicaid only pays 56 cents for every dollar of service provided and that other costs are going up.

Oregonians’ health care could face more change than most states under the new federal administration, and Dr. Sejal Hathi, director of the state health authority, said officials are preparing to respond quickly as things happen.

At least several thousand were affected while thousands of others who don’t qualify for Medicaid will keep their insurance.
