Our role is to continue education around the Oregon Health Insurance Exchange and encourage Oregonians to become informed and engaged in its development process.

IRS990ScheduleC/Form990ScheduleCPartIV/Explanation0The organization's lobbying activities during 2010 were not a substantial part of its activities and its lobbying expenditures are well within the limits permitted under its Section 501(h) election. The organization engaged in no direct lobbying activities through direct contact with legislators to influence legislation. Almost all of its expenditures are to educate the public and anyone active in forming and implementing health care policy on important issues related to health care reform and to create forums for the discussion of these issues. All stakeholders in the reform effort participate in these forums including members of the public, medical and insurance industry representatives, legislators, elected public officials and their staff. An allocation of expenses for indirect, grass roots lobbying that compliments the organizations education efforts has been made as reported.
