Pro-lifers want answers after Oregon admits to spending $1.8 million on abortions
|
 [Wash Times] Oregon pro-life activists are asking for more transparency and oversight after the government admitted to wasting tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and impermissibly financing abortions with federal money.
Lois Anderson, executive director of Oregon Right to Life, said there is a "lax" attitude in the state when it comes to "following laws related to abortion."
"It’s disturbing but not surprising," Ms. Anderson said. "Our current administration in Oregon is not especially concerned with tracking how they’re paying for abortions. We use state funds to pay for almost half of all abortions in Oregon."
In a Nov. 17 letter to Gov. Kate Brown, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Pat Allen documented the myriad ways in which the agency tasked with managing the state’s $9.3 billion Medicaid program has wasted or misallocated taxpayer dollars.
Among other things, Oregon overpaid $74 million in federal funds to "dual eligible" enrollees who were old enough to qualify for Medicare and poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, Mr. Allen said in the letter.
