The fact measures residents under 65 without health insurance. Insurance eligibility, enrollment, coverage continuity and premium assistance concern the covered population. Provider payments and covered services alone do not establish a coverage change, and Medicare-only changes mostly concern a different age population. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

AG Rayfield: “Eligible people will lose coverage despite doing nothing wrong.” Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced a lawsuit today over the Trump Administration’s unlawful implementation of new Medicaid work requirements that would strip healthcare access from thousands of Oregonians and create unreasonable burdens for vulnerable patients. “When someone is fighting cancer, managing a serious disability or struggling with a chronic illness, the last thing they should have to worry about is jumping through bureaucratic hoops to prove they deserve care,” said Attorney General Rayfield. “These new requirements create unnecessary barriers for people who are already sick. History shows what happens next: eligible people lose coverage despite doing nothing wrong.” The new requirements were included in last year’s Congressional budget bill (H.R. 1) and are being implemented through rules issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Today’s multi-state lawsuit – filed by 24 attorneys general and two governors – challenges provisions of an interim final rule published by the agencies on June 3, 2026. Medicaid is the nation’s safety net healthcare program for low-income Americans and is jointly funded by states and the federal government, with the federal government providing at least 50% of the cost of services. Congress created exemptions from Medicaid’s work requirements to ensure that people with serious illnesses and disabilities do not lose coverage or face interruptions in care. Despite months of working with states on implementation, CMS surprised states with the interim final rule, “Community Engagement Requirement for Certain Individuals,” which adopts a new interpretation of key terms like “medically fra

Census income is measured before taxes, so tax relief alone is not an increase in this statistic; the provision does not determine the statewide median.

-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”), specifically the “Defund Provision” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month. The provision targets Planned Parenthood by blocking Medicaid reimbursements for essential healthcare services—such as cancer screenings, birth control, and STI testing—provided at Planned Parenthood health centers. Without these reimbursements, many Planned Parenthood clinics will be forced to close or reduce services, disrupting preventative care and increasing healthcare costs nationwide. “Defunding Planned Parenthood is not about fiscal responsibility—it’s about targeting healthcare providers that some politicians don’t like,” said Attorney General Dan Rayfield. “Planned Parenthood is where thousands of Oregonians go for cancer screenings, contraception, and basic medical care. Pulling Medicaid funding doesn’t make that need disappear, it just makes it harder for people to stay healthy.” For several years, President Trump and his congressional allies have been vocal about their goal to “axe” funding for Planned Parenthood. The recently enacted Defund Provision is the latest step in that multi-year effort to target and punish Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and its members and health centers for advocating for reproductive freedom and exercising their First Amendment rights to speech and expression. Because Medicaid is a state-federal partnership, Congress’s move has conscripted the states to carry out these unconstitutional objectives when they process Medicaid reimbursement. States are now placed in an untenable position: either allow Planned Parenthood clinics to close—crippling state healthcare systems and driving up long-term medical costs—or use state funds to keep those health centers open, forfeiting matching federal dollars. In Oregon alone, Planned Parenthood healt
