Comment: The health care insurance replacement is not finished,  nor  has it been voted on.  Conjecture rules the day.  But Oregon is very dependent upon Medicaid to furnish health care for the lower earners,  and even in Oregon,  the higher earning folks are dead set against contributing more,  and more, and more: schools,  roads,  feel good vote attractions, mindless regulation for its own sake,  Nanny State impositions.  PERS drives our budget.  Pay that first,  and then we can spend whatever is left after OHSU and coaches get their fair share.  

It appears to me that our biggest health concern is that the Oregon Trail Card and low wage jobs buy way too much food,  and morbid obesity is our health problem.  Rent subsidies enable expanded food budgets.    Is it the poor Oregonian is to starve to death losing one limb at a time to diabetes and its associated health issues?  Nobody starved to death in the Oregon,  due to lack of resources to eat.  Yet fat  people die every day due to weight.
