(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Health Plan looks like it's going to survive two more years. The Oregon House approved a provider tax that is expected to generate 673-million-dollars between now and 2019. The plan was approved on a 36-to-23 vote Thursday evening and is a major step toward closing the shortfall in the upcoming budget. The funds generated will allow the state to maintain coverage for about 378-thousand Oregonians who became covered under the Affordable Care Act.
