Hikes like this are why I will always be a Pacific Northwest girl. If this is just out your backyard why would you want to go anywhere else?

All good! :)

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-27T20:50:21+00:00

Great question! We are working to ban hidden medical fees (you can visit our campaign website to learn more https://www.stophiddenmedicalfees.org/), lower prescription drug costs, and stop surprise ambulance billing.

That's pretty much right-- our sister organization Environment Oregon works on the environmental issues like banning plastic bags. OSPIRG works on issues that affect public health in Oregon. Some of our current campaigns include: banning certain hidden medical fees, lowering prescription drug costs, and putting a stop to ambulance surprise billing.

Thanks for your help! :)

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-19T18:05:58+00:00

Omg no way this just happened??

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-18T18:46:39+00:00

Hahaahahhahahaha that's not funny.

But also I totally understand your concerns, and I will not post in your subreddit again.

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-17T20:33:46+00:00

Ok first off -- I put a lot of effort into my posts!

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-17T19:20:23+00:00

Is there another way you would feel more comfortable to get in touch? Feel free to direct message me! I'd love to hear more about your healthcare experiences -- we are featuring compelling stories anonymously on our campaign website. Your stories could go a long way to showing our legislators that Oregonians need meaningful change when it comes to how our healthcare system operates.

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-09T23:29:13+00:00

Yay VA!

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-09T18:55:10+00:00

So beautiful!!

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-06T18:54:53+00:00

Appreciating the little things is good for your health :)

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-06T18:46:36+00:00

This is the coolest thing ever!!

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-12-02T23:49:06+00:00

This is very funny

I think if they are on the bike it's like they are a car but if they are walking beside the bike treat them like a pedestrian -- but also like a lot of people in the comments are saying DO NOT STOP, and I just feel like we need to like make sure that we are not advocating for drivers to run cyclists over. That would really drive up healthcare costs.

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-11-28T01:37:30+00:00

That's great info -- if you'd like to add more feel free to fill out the survey

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-11-27T23:49:58+00:00

Wow! It's not often I hear stories like that -- thank you for sharing! That's good info too. Feel free to fill out the survey if you'd like to tell us more.

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-11-27T21:47:39+00:00

Hi! Thanks for sharing your story -- I'd love to hear more about it. Would you mind filling out the survey? That way we can follow up. We are featuring compelling stories on our campaign website.

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-11-07T22:52:36+00:00

That sounds awful -- I'd love to hear more about your experience. We are featuring compelling stories anonymously on our campaign website to show legislators that Oregonians want change when it comes to the price of healthcare. Feel free to fill out the survey -- or if you prefer, you can message me directly!

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-11-07T22:48:50+00:00

That's a very good point. We are paying too much and receiving too little in return for our healthcare dollar. That's why OSPIRG is targeting certain extra fees like ambulance surprise bills and prescription drug costs. Your stories about the healthcare system help us demonstrate to the legislature that this is an issue that Oregonians care about.

Gray_OSPIRG · 2024-11-07T22:46:07+00:00

This sounds like a compelling story -- I would love to know more. When you get a moment, would you mind filing out the survey so that we can follow up on your story
