title: Health reform interrupted: the unraveling of the Oregon Health Plan.
abstract: The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) has received national and international attention for rationing medical care based on explicit priorities. However, in recent years OHP has lost substantial enrollment and struggled to live up to its core principles. This paper explores what went wrong in OHP and the implications of Oregon's experience for state-led health reform.
