The Oregon Health Authority is cutting jobs due to a $90 million budget gap. Nine to ten higher-level staffers are being laid off by July 31. This initial round precedes an anticipated $421 million in federal Medicaid cuts. These future cuts could cause 200,000 Oregonians to lose health care coverage. Employees express concerns about transparency, morale, and potential service reductions.
