| 4 | Kevin Gartner | I am soon to be without employer-sponsored health care coverage. It's a scary prospect, and will probably be both confusing and expensive unless OHIP steps up and helps. |

| 10 | Liz Trojan | Universal Single-payer. Do not funnel taxpayer dollars into for-profit health insurance companies! |
| 11 | Paul Hochfeld | As an emergency physician for the last 28 years in Corvallis, I strongly support this approach. |

| 13 | Shelley Ries | The only fair and reasonable option is to offer a publicly owned and administered health plan. the rest are business as usual |
| 14 | Mike Huntington | |
| 15 | Karen Crauder | This should be the mandated choice for all public employees. |

| 17 | Edith Orner | It is absolutely vital that we begin thinking outside the "box" which limits us to the present "for profit" insurance coverage for all except those with very limited incomes. Without stringent cost controls, present insurance coverage is available to fewer and fewer persons due to the accelerating costs of coverage. We must begin to consider options which up to now have not been available - such as publically owned and administered access to health care for everyone. |
| 18 | Roberta Hall | The US is alone among industrialized nations to provide a system of health care for its people, and we all are held hostage in our work lives and our personal lives as a result---it hurts our sense of morality, it hurts our economy, it reduces our people's freedom. Providing this option in our state will be an important first step, as well as being a kind of experiment to see if we as a people can handle it---let's get a publicly-run option in our state health care system. |

| 21 | Adele Kubein | I am a student and long time Oregon resident. Last summer I suffered a terrible bicycle accident Which required a five hour surgery to repair. I tried to get the Oregon Health Plan but was told that only dying women and some children can get it. I went into over 40,000 dollars of debt just to retain the ability to walk. How can I pay something like that? There are thousands of us out here who have to choose between our life and bankruptcy, while this nation's priorities lean toward war and tax breaks for the wealthy. Where is the justice here? We need help, the ordinary people who cannot afford three hundred dollars or more a month to pay for insurance. Please don't forget us. |

| 23 | Mike Beilstein | A publicly owned and administered "accountable health plan" would be a good demonstration of how we can meet health needs without the insurance companies. Please let it happen as an option under SB 329. |

| 34 | Bruce Byram | I am a family physician and am strongly in favor of a publicly administered, not-for-profit plan. |
| 35 | Roger Keys Weaver | Health care for all Oregon? Absolutely! |
| 36 | Robert Ross | it is essential to include publicly underwritten health insurance as an option, and preferably, as the only option available. The balancing of pooled risk would lower costs for everyone and extract that money going towards profiteering by insurance companies from the table. |
| 37 | john watson | SB 329 as currently written unlikely to succeed.
Passage may worsen the present situation as it encourages under-insurance. Look to Mass.
as problematic already. What you're doing is great.....just needs some help. |

| 39 | Laurie Childers | It is shameful how our health care costs twice what other "wealthy" countries have, but is available to fewer people. Please make changes to our convoluted system that will simplify access, billing, and let the $ spent go to care, not accountants. |

| 42 | Rich Lague | I do not want to be forced by law to subsidize private health insurance companies. These companies are completely unnecessary. |
| 43 | Keith F. Harcourt, MD | |
| 44 | Keta Tom | We absolutely should have a public health plan available. We should not get forced into private plans as we are with auto insurance. |
