The Oregon plan: increasing access to health care.
In 1989, a coalition of Oregon legislators, policymakers, and health care professionals created a new plan that attempts to ensure equitable and universal access to health care by prioritizing types of care. Critics call it unrealistic and a dangerous rationing scheme. Proponents argue it is better than the current system that denies thousands of citizens access to basic care.
