About this listen

Is Oregon’s healthcare system helping people, or just burning cash?

In this episode of Oregon D.O.G.E., we dive into the Oregon Health Authority’s surging $39B budget, bureaucratic bloat, and scandals involving misused mental health grants, stalled patient care, and lawsuits from counties.

Topics include:

  • A $1B program for undocumented care
  • OHA’s 256-person, $55M Equity Division
  • Patients are being asked for $4K upfront despite having insurance
  • Why Oregon ranks last in hospital beds per capita
  • Nurses paid top-3 nationwide—but staffing remains blocked
  • State and county lawsuits over addiction funding

With guests Senator Suzanne Weber and Rep. Ed Diehl, this episode is a wake-up call about transparency, priorities, and the future of healthcare in Oregon.
