Charlie Swanson
Health Care for All Oregon-Action president
Oregon
I am a retired physicist who taught at the high school, community college, and university level. I am President of Health Care for All Oregon-Action and a member of the One Payer States Policy Work Group, and was a member of Oregon’s legislative Universal Access to Healthcare Workgroup. I have detailed knowledge about the Oregon Task Force on Universal Health Care. I have studied how states with increased Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) use have tended to have greater expenditures per beneficiary, the CBO report on how it projects costs of a single payer system, and other things generally related to costs in a single payer system relative to the status quo.
