@GovTinaKotek You will do everything you can to keep allowing the fraud to take place. We all know you benefit from our stolen tax dollars. You're worse than roadkill. Please leave oregon alone, we can't take anymore!
@SenSchumer I've yet to hear a logical argument as to why you wouldn't want voter ID. Not one. The only reason to NOT have that law is to cheat in elections. That's it. Cheater cheater pumpkin eater
@TinaKotek Why don't you just get rid of property taxes for seniors? That would fix it right away Instead you're trying to just get more money into the "non profit" homelessness machine You're a joke Tina please resign your campaign immediately Signed evryone in Oregon
@Chad_Edwardz@draco_khan@Jorel_2557@GavinNewsom Trump is the best president we've had since William McKinley. Don't fall for the trap of infighting. If you're not on our team than you're an enemy. Sadly that's the state of things nowadays.
@RepJayapal My family has been in this country since 1724. We helped build this country. All these jealous people trying to take our ready made country can GTFO or worse
‼️This is deeply troubling... Please read and share the information published by City Journal…
Oregon has become a national leader in transgender diagnoses and medical intervention. Not coincidentally, Oregon is the only state in the country to have formally adopted the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s recommendations as the basis for its Medicaid benefits. And it did so despite its own health regulatory body acknowledging the absence of supportive evidence.
Using insurance data for minors ages 8 to 17 between 2016 and 2023, the authors of the recent Research Connections study found that about one in 240 girls and one in 630 boys in Oregon were on hormones by age 17. In addition, 0.98 percent of minors—1.51 percent of girls and 0.46 percent of boys—received a “transgender-related diagnosis” (typically “gender dysphoria”) during these years. In other words, about one in every 65 adolescent girls in Oregon is a potential candidate for medical “sex reassignment.”
To put these figures into context, when the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) was published in 2013, it reported a diagnostic prevalence of gender dysphoria among adults as 0.002 percent to 0.003 percent for females and 0.005 percent to 0.014 percent for males. Even if we assume (incorrectly) that gender dysphoria is a single clinical entity, this means that diagnosed teen girls and boys in contemporary Oregon thus represent a rise of, respectively, more than 500 and 30 times the prevalence of pre-2013 figures.
Hormonal prescriptions in Oregon have also outpaced the already-rising national average. Last year, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics reported that approximately one in 1,000 American teens was prescribed cross-sex hormones by age 17. The Oregon rate was two to three times higher than that. Indeed, a closer look at the data revealed that hormone prescriptions in Oregon were four to five times the national rate among 14- and 15-year-olds, while puberty-blocker uptake was up to six times the national rate at age 14. Thus, teens in Oregon are not only being medicalized more, but also at earlier ages.
In 2023, Oregon Democrats passed HB 2002, which made Medicaid coverage of gender transition services for minors and adults mandatory, i.e., no longer dependent on HERC assessment. HERC was advised to endorse WPATH’s recommendations (SOC-8) as the minimal coverage standard. HERC assessed the evidence again, and again found it wanting. But intervention by gender clinicians at the Oregon Health and Science University ensured that HERC’s reluctance would not be a barrier. OHSU has been at the forefront of eliminating barriers to gender interventions and pioneering novel techniques designed to help young patients achieve body configurations “beyond the binary.”
In short, by any reasonable reading, Oregon, which received billions of dollars annually in Medicaid funding, is in violation of its Section 1115 Medicaid waiver, leaving it vulnerable to termination by CMS. HERC’s acknowledgment of the poor quality of evidence is not a matter of opinion. There is documented evidence for it, obtained through freedom of information requests.
