There were passionate pleas Thursday at the Portland City Council's first public budget meeting because some officers, firefighters and the city's mounted patrol could lose their jobs. Watch KATU's report on the meeting.
Gov. John Kitzhaber's Driver Card bill speech at the Oregon state Capitol in Salem, May 1, 2013.
I am thrilled to hear that the President of this great nation has enough common sense to see and realize that there are allot of people that can contribute to this great nation because we as a people need all the help from within to help ourselves as a nation. We need to be able to give the means for people to be part and make our nation greater then it is all ready.
If the National News and local News informed people about the facts of the Affordable care act, the American public would be far more in favor and far more aware that it is in everyones interest, and allow most Americans access to affordable healthcare. Â Allow all people even with existing conditions to be treated and in two decades save over one Trillion dollars. America has one of the worst healthcare systems in the industrialized world. This is a step forward, but America still has a long way to go. Next step Medicare for all.
