I was recently part of a legislative panel at the State of Reform Health Policy Conference in Portland, along with Rep. Diehl & Sen. Patterson.
We discussed healthcare challenges in Oregon related to the impact of Trump’s (not so) Big Beautiful Bill.

What happened this week is unacceptable. We will not stand by as ICE takes away Oregonians – people who were simply on their way to work to earn a fair living, provide for their families, and put food on our tables.
