Kitzhaber’s Health Plan

Governor-Elect John Kitzhaber says if the State's health services continue to operate at current levels and State revenue continues to decline, the health authority will potentially face a 40% drop in funds. Kitzhaber announced the Director of the Department of Human Services, Bruce Goldberg, and Mike Bonetto of St. Charles in Bend will lead a health budget transition team. Their first charge is to find service reductions to get the health authority through the next year. At the same time, the team will look for sweeping changes in how all health services are provided in Oregon to reduce costs and improve care.
