The City of Eugene had the trusted Oregon
Medical Group clinic providing care for
many residents. Then it was bought up by a
subsidiary of UnitedHealth. Soon the doctors were being told to deny treatment to their patients. As a result, most of the doctors quit. Due to non-disclosure agreements they were forced
to sign, they couldn't even tell their patients that
they were leaving. Many people suddenly found
themselves losing health care without explanation. And it was impossible to replace
it, as the doctors left the city due to a
non-compete clause. That tragedy led to the state of Oregon passing a bill that requires health decisions to be in the hands of doctors, not corporations. Health insurance companies fought against it & called it "evil." But the Governor signed it on
June 9th, & the Brian Thompson types are now
living in fear that it will spread to other states.
