I will find allies in Congress from both parties who want to reform health care and stabilize rural health services. Phasing in an affordable public option for all people in Oregon, similar to Oregon Health Plan, is doable and long overdue. Thanks to legislators like my friend, the late Senator Alan Bates, and Governor John Kitzhaber, Oregon pioneered a transformative health care system that provides basic services while controlling costs, and we should do the same at the national level.
