BEND, OR -- Bend State Representative and Republican gubernatorial candidate Knute Buehler continues to call on Governor Kate Brown to launch an independent investigation into overpayments made to Coordinated Care Organizations.
Leaders of the Oregon Health Authority have admitted the agency incorrectly paid out health benefits totaling tens of millions of dollars over the last several years. Buehler blames Brown for not catching the mistake sooner, "She has been responsible for this, I would say, more than any other single Salem politician because she was Secretary of State who had that audit authority," he told KBND host Lars Larson, this week, "And now it took Secretary of State Richardson getting into office to actually use it; and that’s a problem."
