Help is available to certain low-income residents of Oregon who cannot afford to buy health insurance. The Oregon Health Plan (OHP), consisting of Medicaid, the Oregon Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Family Health Insurance Assistance Program offers free or subsidized health insurance coverage, direct medical services or other help. In addition, the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program provides tax credits to some workers who lose their jobs or whose work hours and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. This chapter provides summary information about these programs and contact information for further assistance.
