(Washington, D.C.) -- Oregon's U.S. Senators say mental health access is at risk in eastern Oregon following Medicaid cuts. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley sent a letter late last month to providers in Malheur County asking how they will ensure 800 people who rely on mental health services will maintain those services, in the wake of coverage changes. Wyden and Merkley say rural Oregon faces nearly four-billion dollars in Medicaid cuts, claiming Malheur County stands to lose the most, because more than half of its residents are enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan, which is funded by Medicaid.
