OR health coverage enrollment sees slight decrease
More than 145,00
Oregonians signed up
for health plans for 2020
through HealthCare.gov.
This year’s enrollment of
145,264 Oregonians is a two
percent decrease from last
year’s 148,180.
During the 45-day-long
open enrollment period in
November and December,
people can buy health insur-
ance for the upcoming year,
and many receive subsidies,
through HealthCare.gov
established by the Affordable
Care Act.
Oregon’s uninsured rate
has dropped almost 11
percent since 2009. About 94
percent of Oregonians and
98 percent of Oregon chil-
dren have health insurance.
“In many cases,
Oregonians whose health
and future might have been
in jeopardy because they did
not have access to insur-
ance find that the plans and
subsidies available through
HealthCare.gov help make
insurance more afford-
able for them,” said Chiqui
Flowers, administrator of the
Oregon Health Insurance
Marketplace, the state-level
partner to HealthCare.gov.
“Oregonians will receive
the care they need and live
longer, better lives because
of the work done by the
Oregon Health Insurance
Marketplace,” said Lou
Savage, Director of the
Department of Consumer
and Business Services, the
state’s largest consumer
protection and business
regulatory agency, of which
the Oregon Health Insurance
Marketplace is a part.
For those who helped
Oregonians find health
insurance through the
Marketplace this year, their
job is not complete.
“Our focus now that
open enrollment is over is
to remind Oregonians who
signed up for coverage that

2020, after losing his battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Tom was born September 24, 1953, at Fort Lawton
Hospital while his father served in Korea.
Mr. Svendsen was raised in Seattle and graduated
from the University of Washington -- Go Huskies! --
with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1976. He
married his college sweetheart Debi Thorlakson soon
after he moved to Goldendale to take a position as an

reer before retiring in 2009 as General Manager. Tom
was a champion of renewable energy and worked dili-
gently on the building of the HW Hill landfill gas to

longtime member of the Goldendale Golf Club, serv-
ing as club president for six years, and was honored

ty by being awarded a JCI Senatorship for his years
of service to his community. Senatorship was estab-
lished to honor and recognize outstanding achieve-
ments and service of Jaycees members worldwide.
Tom’s efforts were instrumental, along with all mem-
bers of the Goldendale chapter of the Jaycees, with
the development of Goldendale’s E’Kone Park and nu-
merous community-oriented projects throughout his
community.
As a family Tom and Debi enjoyed entertaining
friends and family at their Goldendale home and
their cabin along the slopes of Mt. Hood, near Park-
dale, Ore., and RV’ing with close friends. They trav-
eled extensively and were veterans of cruises and
touring. Tom and Debi also enjoyed their winters in
Kona and with family in Yuma, Arizona.

and Frances Svendsen of Seattle, brother Ted (Char-
lotte), also of Seattle, daughter Kristi (Chuck) Her-
ron, of Ridgefield, Washington, and son Kevin (Jen-
nifer) Svendsen of Spokane and, especially, grandchil-
dren Paddy and Keegan Herron and Austin and

ter Cathy and grandparents Clara and Jacob Lam-
