Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have been watching the news about the many states that have joined in to challenge the Constitutionality of the new HealthCare plan proposed by the Obama administration. One of the Governors mentioned it was unconstitutional, in her stated, to mandate that anyone join, or be placed in a healthcare policy, or association, without their consent. This question would be to the attorneys on this list. Does Oregon have such a stipulation in our constitution? And if so, wouldn't Managed Care Organizations, such as is required in the worker's compensation law, then be unconstitutional? After all, they do require a person to be placed in a healthcare program, at the insurers request, even if the patient would rather not. If this is then unconstitutional, wouldn't a class action suit be a way of getting rid of the MCO fiasco in Oregon? Just something that came to mind when watching the news this morning.
