Healthcare

HCR 202 is a concurrent resolution declaring Oregon's 2033 policy goal for its healthcare system to be more affordable and accessible for all residents. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but sets six specific targets, including ensuring timely primary care access, improving population health outcomes, stabilizing hospital finances, and reducing healthcare costs below national averages. The resolution directly affects Oregonians (especially those delaying care due to cost), healthcare providers, hospitals, insurers, and employers facing rising premiums. It acknowledges systemic issues like Medicaid funding losses and high hospital deficits but focuses on long-term vision rather than immediate policy changes.

Authorizes the Director of the Employment Department to adopt rules establishing an accounting system for handling moneys in the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Fund. Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.
