Bill > HCR202

This resolution declares a state policy goal for Oregon's health care system, aiming for it to be more affordable and accessible by the year 2033. It acknowledges past successes in expanding coverage and promoting quality care but highlights ongoing challenges, including rising costs that make healthcare unaffordable for individuals, employers, and the government. The resolution also points to potential federal funding losses that could further strain the state's budget and impact access to care, particularly in rural areas. The overarching goal is to create a system where all Oregonians have timely access to patient-centered primary care and affordable health services, leading to improved health outcomes, a less complex and more navigable system for patients and providers, sustainable healthcare facilities, affordable employer-sponsored insurance, and a reduction in unnecessary costs and utilization below the national average, while increasing consumer access to high-value care above the national average.
