SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) The Oregon House voted Wednesday to send a constitutional amendment to Oregon voters that would enshrine health care as a right for all Oregonians.
SJR 12 would amend the Oregon Constitution to ensure that every resident of Oregon has access to cost-effective, clinically appropriate and affordable health care as a fundamental right, Oregon Senate Democrats said in a news release, which continues below.
The bill is the legacy of the late State Rep. Mitch Greenlick, who chaired the House Committee on Health Care for many years.
“We need to send this to the voters because of the unpredictability of the future of health care at the federal level,” said Rep. Andrea Salinas (D-Lake Oswego), who co-carried the bill on the House floor. “The marketplace needs some stability, and the state of Oregon needs a path forward. We don’t need better insurance instruments, we need better access to health care.”
He said virtually all participants support the idea. They support this effort because they understand the huge cultural, environmental and economic value that reopening the locks will have on the region, he said. Establishing the Willamette Falls Locks Authority and reopening the locks will help unlock the potential of the region and positively affect our area for years to come.
The commission s primary task was to draft a plan for reopening the locks.
Meek said more than $900,000 has been amassed for the plan, and more than $650,000 for work to make them operational again. That area is a little bit shoddy looking right now. It is kind of run down, Rep. Jeff Reardon, D-Happy Valley, said. But we are looking at a point where with the continuation of these locks is going to incentivize further development on both sides of the river.
