-
Measure 23 (2002) was a legislatively-referred state statute that would have created a single-payer health care system to provide health care to every person in Oregon.[1] The proposal would have merged all the various funding streams—personal and employer taxes, federal health programs, and the state workers' compensation system—into a single financing system. The system would have covered 100% of medically necessary health care costs with no deductibles or cost sharing. Prescription drugs, preventive care, mental health services, long-term care, dental and vision care, and many alternative therapies would have been covered as well.[2]
The measure was rejected by voters in the general election on November 5, 2002.
