For the short term, this means Oregon needs to be even more resourceful by trying to better coordinate the limited resources it does have to help those most in need. The implications of the Big Beautiful Bill and many other administration policies are to put it kindly, losing their luster with every voter. But reversing the impacts will take much time and effort. No time to wait. Thanks Ken for the reminder
I am thinking you meant Medicaid (and not Medicare) cuts; Medicare is generally unchanged. But the significant disenrollment and benefit restriction you reference is clearly going to put mental health services at risk as outlined. Practically everything this administration has advanced is the antithesis to human well being, climate stabilization, lower income advancement and mental health support.
I was just going to point that out. Perhaps the headline was written by someone other than the author? He doesn't mention Medicare in the body of the article that I could see.

Sorry folks, that was a typo on my end. Yes, it should be Medicaid. Thanks for the catch.
