What to know: Oregon voters have approved a health care measure that will allow residents to sue the state if their “fundamental right” to health care services isn’t honored quickly, effectively and affordably.

The TPPF take: Single-payer health care systems, such as Oregon’s scheme or Medicare-for-All, don’t work.

“The fundamental flaw of single-payer is that it increases demand (covering more people) while ignoring supply,” says TPPF’s David Balat. “Health care providers simply can’t afford to add more patients at the reimbursement rates the system can offer. That’s why we’re seeing rationing occur even now in Medicare and Medicaid.”
