Oregon’s Joint Task Force on Universal Health Care
(JTFUHC)
Oregon’s Joint Task Force on Universal Health Care (JTFUHC) completed its work and submitted its report in September 2022! The report included a concept plan that shows that a single payer system is possible, will provide better care to more people, and will save money. The report included recommendations for next steps and a time line. The next step to achieving quality, affordable, universal, single payer health care in Oregon will be to create the UHP Governance Board.
Senate Bill 770 (2019) created Oregon’s Joint Task Force on Universal Health Care (JTFUHC) and was signed by the Governor on July 23, 2019. Senate Bill 428 (2021) extended the time for the Task Force to do its essential work with the report due September 30, 2022.
