The Oregon Better Health Act is Senate Bill 27

The Archimedes Movement reached another milestone on Monday when the Oregon Better Health Act was formally introduced for consideration by 2007 legislature as Senate Bill 27. We are indebted to Senator Betsy Johnson of Scappoose who introduced the bill at the request of the Archimedes Movement. We expect that our bill will be assigned to the Senate Special Committee on Health Care Reform, co-chaired by Senators Alan Bates and Ben Westlund.

As soon as the text of SB 27 is available in electronic form we will put it up on our website and keep you posted with news of co-sponsors, public hearings, citizen lobby days and other opportunities for you to participate in the political process as our bill makes its way through the 2007 legislature.

Please continue to spread the word about the Oregon Better Health Act. We can do better!

Thanks for your efforts,

John Kitzhaber
