HB 3391 (2017), also known as the Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA), provides expanded coverage for eligible Oregonians to access free reproductive health services, especially those who, in the past, may not have been eligible for coverage of these services. Telemedicine involves the two-way, real time interactive communication between the patient, and the physician or practitioner at the distant site. During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has allowed people to receive medical care while still socially distancing. Consequently, federal and states laws have been updated to allow for expanded use and insurance coverage of telemedicine. HB 4034A adds to what a pharmacy intern to perform under supervision, a physical verification of a drug, drug dosage, device, or product selected from a pharmacy’s electronic pharmacy inventory system. Authorizes Oregon Health Authority to implement reproductive health services and education programs. Allows physicians and physician assistants to use telemedicine.

Just another way to fund whomever they want to do work they want. Could this be another way to fund abortions?
I and my daughters family are now visiting my grandson, born out of wedlock, and his new baby boy, What a thrill to the whole family to share a new life born. My daughter considered abortion but with love and family support she chose Gods way of LIFE.
To increase school health clinics is to avoid the family structure God set up. Let the family deal with family matters, most often they can do a better job than the outside influence of government. Vote NO
