Subject: Prioritize Universal Health Care During the 2027 Legislative Session
Dear Representative/Senator,
In honor of National Medicare for All Day, I am writing as your constituent to urge you to make universal health care a top priority during the 2027 Oregon legislative session.
Health care is becoming increasingly unaffordable for too many Oregonians. Families across our state are struggling with rising premiums, deductibles, copays, and prescription drug costs. Too many people delay needed care, skip medications, or take on medical debt simply because they cannot afford the care they need. Recent federal changes affecting health care funding make it even more urgent that Oregon pursue a durable, state-level solution that guarantees access to care for everyone.
I am asking you to support 2027 legislation referring a universal health plan to the ballot in 2028, and to encourage House and Senate leadership to make this issue a legislative priority. Universal health care deserves hearings, meaningful public discussion, and a path forward during the next session.
Oregonians deserve a health care system where everyone can receive the care they need without financial hardship. I urge you to work with your colleagues and legislative leadership to make universal health care a priority in 2027.
Thank you for your service and for your consideration. I look forward to hearing how you plan to support efforts to ensure that every Oregonian has access to affordable, comprehensive health care.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
