House leaders said they want to keep the spotlight on health care by asking voters in November to make it a right enshrined in the Oregon Constitution.
The measure was unveiled last week by Greenlick, D-Portland, the longtime chairman of the House health committee. He has sponsored similar measures before that didn’t go anywhere. But Greenlick said the fight over health care at the national level has opened a new opportunity.
His measure would insert a new provision in the state Constitution saying it is the “obligation of the state to ensure that every resident of Oregon has access to effective, medically appropriate and affordable health care as a fundamental right.”
Rights are not given by God, but by Democratics. Real Oregonians might want to buy padlocks for their wallets. The founders of the KKK and "The Great Society" are at it again.
And the transplants from back east who have infested the Willamette Valley will go for it, as they always do.
