BTW Oregon's legislature has a Dem supermajority in both houses and they could not even pass a bill to keep the state DoT funded. And the governor has attacked Portland's attempt at implementing universal preschool because she says the tax on high earners is driving people away!

The Democrats!

Democrats have created a committee to do a two year project to create a universal health plan which will then need to be legislated/amended and will almost certainly go to a statewide vote.

Would be cool to see it go live, but there are a ton of hurdles in the way. Portland DSA and some other orgs are starting to use it as a flag to rally around.

One would imagine that WA and CA could join their single program if it exists.

Next they're going to restrict it to pelgrant recipients that have a high interest small business loan taken out between 2023-2024 who have paid off more than 50% of principal and who have 3-5 children ages 2-15 with at least one enrolled in junior ROTC...
