SUMMARY:HCAO Health Care Reform Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Health Care for All Oregon is hosting this important town hall. \nHEALTH CARE IS IN CRISIS\nHealth care is expensive. Insurance doesn’t guarantee access. Oregonians are seeing a loss of services\, and medical bankruptcies\, poverty rates\, and death are all on the rise. \nOREGON CAN MOVE TO UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE\nOur state’s Universal Health Plan Governance Board will deliver a plan to our Oregon legislature in September 2026. Our Oregon Legislature will be considering this in 2027. Oregonians can expect to vote on this issue in 2028. \nTALK TO THE PEOPLE MAKING THE PLAN\nSpeak to a member of Oregon’s Universal Health Plan Governance Board\, with your local leaders\, and a speaker from Health Care for All Oregon. \nSpeakers include: Michelle Glass: Universal Health Plan Governance Board member Lauri Hoagland : Health Care for All Oregon\, Rogue Valley Chapter \nOregon is the only state with a constitutional amendment\, guaranteeing healthcare as a fundamental right of every resident. Learn about what Oregon is doing to make this constitutional obligation into a reality. \nImagine a Universal Health Plan\, based on Oregon residency\, and modeled on a “single-payer” model: Care for life. Less stress. No copays. No deductibles. Lower cost. Less waste. No medical debt. Choice of providers. Simple. Equitable. Necessary.

SUMMARY:Save Our Hospital Rally
DESCRIPTION:Health Care for All Oregon \nPRESS RELEASE \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 12\, 2026\nContact: Lauri Hoagland/ lauri7757@aol.com 1+707-695-6262 \nRally to Protest Service Closures at Asante Ashland Community Hospital \nAsante has announced plans to close the birthing services and stop inpatient surgery at Asante Ashland Community Hospital (AACH) by spring 2026. \nRogue Valley HealthCare for All Oregon (RVHCAO) is a local nonprofit affiliate of HealthCare for All Oregon in Southern Oregon. Our mission is to advocate for an equitable\, affordable\, comprehensive\, high-quality publicly funded universal health care system in Oregon. We insist that Asante honor its 2013 agreement with the community of Ashland to continue through 2028 to provide general hospital services\, including birthing\, in-patient and surgical services\, to the residents of Ashland. \nAshland Community Hospital has been an essential service in our community since 1907. Importantly\, the Ashland city charter\, grants the city of Ashland the authority and direction to maintain a hospital within the city limits of our community. We demand that our elected officials honor this responsibility by insisting that Asante follow the conditions set forth in the 2013 agreement. \nThe Ashland birthing center\, providing a water birth option and doulas\, is unique in this region of Oregon. More than 200 births occurred at the hospital last year. Medford will not be able to offer these services in their current form. Moving in-patient services 11 miles away will impose unnecessary hardship and potentially life-threatening consequences on Ashland residents\, particularly the elderly who represent 30 percent of our community’s population. \nSenator Merkley recently cautioned Asante President and CEO Tom Gessel with regard to the planned closures: “I anticipate that this decision will hurt the health and safety of individuals seeking inpatient care\, as well as expectant mothers and newborns\, who will no longer have local access to care.” \nWe must raise our voices against these planned closures and voice our support for revamping and reinvesting\nin the essential healthcare AACH currently provides. In addition to attending the rally\, citizens are encouraged\nto speak at the Ashland City Council meeting from 6-9:30 pm on January 20\, 2026 and/or send testimony via\nhttps://www.ashlandoregon.gov/FormCenter/City-Recorder-5/City-Council-Public-Testimony-Form-92
