#101: Is Healthcare A Human Right?

Two BIG things we are talking about today. First- our 100th Episode Giveaway announcement is today! We have a winner, woohoo! Listen up to see if it was you! Our incredible prize package is listed below as well as thanks to all the sponsors and donors!  The Show: Oregon just passed Ballot Measure 111. It says  that the state "ensure that every resident of Oregon has access to cost-effective, clinically appropriate and affordable health care as a fundamental right." What defines a resident of Oregon? What defines what is  cost-effective treatment? Who decides what is clinically appropriate? What happens if a person in healthcare declines to provide health services to an Oregon Resident, are they infringing on someone’s state rights?  So many questions as far as interpretation, costs, and implications for those PROVIDING healthcare and those RECEIVING.  Our guest today, Alan Thayer of Innovative Law Group (ThinkILG.com), is here to help untangle all those questions. He also gives us some important background on the history of Oregon ballot measures and implications how this will play out.  Where to find Alan Thayer: www.thinkILG.com Oregon Ballot Measure 111: https://ballotpedia.org/Oregon_Measure_111,_Right_to_Healthcare_Amendment_(2022) Our Advice!
