“There simply is not enough time to
nount an effective signature gathering
ïffort this month,” said Michael G ra
ham, MD, one of the chief sponsors o f
the petition. “Tobacco industry blocked
the right o f voters to cast their ballot on
this important public health issue this
fall,” he said.
O regonians for Health Care, the
committee formed by the Oregon M edi
cal A ssociation, Ecum enical M inis
tries o f Oregon, the Oregon Nurses
Association and the American Long
A ssociation of Oregon, filed the new
initiative petition today so that signa
ture collection can begin later this sum-
mer. Since the measure is virtually
identical to the version upheld by the
Supreme Court, expected challenges
by the tobacco lobby are likely to fail
again.
The two-year delay worries som e
sponsors. Ellen Lowe o f Ecumenical
M inistries said, “ Deep budget cuts now
being proposed could endanger the plan
to bring basic coverage to more than
one hundred thousand O regonians who
are too poor to afford health care for
their fam ilies. W e hope to co llect
enough signatures by spring to con
vince the Legislature to enact our m ea
sure. W e want to get health care to
people who need it now .” T he tobacco
industry thwarted efforts to raise to
bacco taxes in the last legislative ses
sion.
