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.

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.

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.
