Nearly three Oregonians die every week from prescription overdoses, and many others will suffer addiction or opioid use disorder. As state health experts address this epidemic, one Oregon mother shares her family’s painful story with the hope it will help others. As she says, “It could happen to anyone.”
The increasing rates follow the state’s decision to expand coverage under the Oregon Health Plan. If you’re among the 5 percent of Oregonians who lack coverage, find out if you qualify for OHP coverage at Healthcare.Oregon.gov.
Single father Jason Lavery says finding affordable health coverage on the open exchange changed his life — and the life of his 8-year-old son.
Federal data shows that 26,000 Oregonians qualify for a tax credit on health insurance but aren’t aware they qualify. Learn more and enroll at Healthcare.gov now through Dec. 15.
