Hold Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority
Accountable for Medicaid Mismanagement!
Vote NO on 101!
As a taxpayer and business turn-around specialist, it’s incredibly frustrating to watch the colossal waste of our healthcare tax dollars:
-
- $300 MILLION utterly wasted on Cover Oregon!
- Hundreds of millions in wasted overpayments when 55,000 people were found ineligible for Medicaid!
- Taxpayers holding the bag for another $74 million in Medicaid overpayments;
- A scandalous drama and costly lawsuit between the Oregon Health Authority and non-profit Medicaid provider Family Care, and we’re footing the legal bill!
These are real tax dollars that could’ve been spent providing healthcare to Oregon’s most vulnerable citizens.
But Governor Kate Brown is oblivious! She’s spent enormous time attending endless junkets and campaign fundraisers while her agency directors drove our healthcare system into the ground!
Newspapers had to shame her before she demanded Medicaid profiteers give back our tax dollars! Why wait so long? Because Kate Brown accepted $115,000* of their campaign contributions this year! (*oregonvotes.org)
The Oregonian said, “But someone – the state health authority hasn’t said who – made a decision to let the care organizations keep the remaining $64 million of public dollars, even though the state may still have to reimburse the federal government.” (11/4/17)
Can you believe Kate Brown didn’t know this was happening? How is it possible 16 Medicaid care organizations didn’t know they were being overpaid MILLIONS? And Kate’s big idea to fix this mess? Pass sales taxes on health insurance premiums and hospital care paid for by everyday Oregonians.
Reforming our healthcare system will take new leadership that isn’t beholden to healthcare lobbyists and special interests. Professionally, fixing dysfunctional organizations is what I do. And I’m beholden to no one.
I’ll be your next Governor. Please join me in voting NO on 101 to protect Oregonians from outrageous sales taxes on basic human needs like healthcare.
Let’s fix healthcare starting NOW, and get it right for all Oregonians!
