made the difficult decision to
not move forward with it,”
said Senate Majority Leader
Ginny Burdick, D-Portland.
Had the referral been
approved in the Legislature,
the proposal would have gone
to voters in the November
general election.
In the House, all 35 Dem-
ocrats voted for the measure,
while the 25 Republicans
opposed it.
State Rep. Mitch Green-
lick, D-Portland, who has
repeatedly sponsored the mea-
sure, said this is the third con-
secutive time the Senate has
blocked the referral.
In light of federal efforts
to overturn the Affordable
Care Act, Greenlick said it is
important for Oregon voters
to weigh in on whether they
want health care to be acces-
sible to everyone.

ing a terrible mistake not to

SALEM — A legislative
referral to ask voters to amend
the Oregon Constitution to
make access to cost-effec-
tive and affordable health care
the right of all residents lacks
the votes to pass the state
Senate, according to Senate
Democrats.
Despite proposed word-
ing changes, there were still
concerns about individuals
suing the state, said state Sen.
Laurie Monnes Anderson,
D-Gresham, chairwoman of
the Senate Health Committee.
“We were just down to
the wire. Trying to come to
an agreement on language
changes was just really
tough,” she said.
The measure, called House
Joint Referral 203, passed the
House along party lines this
month.
Monnes
Anderson
announced Monday that her
committee would not hold
a vote on the referral. Even
though the committee had
enough votes to send the mea-
sure to the Senate floor, there
are not enough votes to pass
the bill in the larger body, she
said.
“The bill would have
needed extensive amend-
ments for it to get the sup-
port it needs in the Senate, and
given this late timing in the
session, the committee chair
give them the opportunity
to tell us whether they really
believe that universal access
to health care is something
that our citizens deserve and
that we should take seriously
as we consider how we move
forward in dealing with the
health care system,” he said.
Using a catchphrase from
the 1984 science fiction film,
“The Terminator,” Greenlick
said: “I will be back.”
The practical impact of cre-
ating such a right was unclear.
House Speaker Tina Kotek
and Majority Leader Jennifer
Williamson, both Democrats
from Portland, described the
measure primarily as “aspi-
rational,” but some legal
experts said adding the right
to the Constitution could spur
litigation.
“I think we all agree that
health care should be an
inalienable right for everyone.
I’m concerned that you send
it to the voters and the voters
say ‘yes’ and it comes back, at
what expense do we pay for
it?” said Sen. Alan DeBoer,
R-Ashland, a member of the
Senate Health Care Commit-
tee. “We need the federal gov-
ernment to come to the table. I
have always been a supporter
of single payer … but how
do you pay for it once you
approve it and the lawsuits?”
