The Lane County Board of Commissioners will be voting on the resolution to be involved in the research and development of a state funded universal healthcare plan. This can be a great step forward in fixing the costly, ineffective, inequitable, and confusing systems of providing healthcare we are paying for.
This is our chance to speak out and ask the Commissioners to support the above resolution. Please take a moment to read the resolution and see where your lived experience or that of your organization relates to the reasons you support its passage.
