Published on Apr 3, 2019

Shorter version. HERC Meeting March 14th 2019. HERC members talking about chronic pain patients after they left the meeting. What was expected to be the final vote on the chronic pain task force proposal for medicaid, was paused they say, to investigate a possible conflict of interest by members and staff of HERC. This portion of the HERC meeting was a roundtable style discussion with the Chief Medical Officer of the OHA, and voting members of HERC, some of whom are also members of the chronic pain task force. * Introduction to the HERC meeting begins at the 38 min mark and goes to the 50 min mark. The audio begins with the HERC and OHA Chief discussions and how the HERC profiles and sees patients who testify and who they serve in a public health position.

  1. HA!…. People are Dying, Committing Suicide, Stigmatized and TORTURED yet they can’t comprehend why legitimate patients are on the offensive?!

  2. Prejudices revealed. Please share widely.

    • Dr Mark;
      You got that right. These are the same people who, in the application for volunteers to be a patient member of the Task Farce,* devoted nearly one whole page to things like what gender identifier did the person prefer, what title (“Mr,” “Ms,” “Ze,” “Ser,” etc), what ethnicity, etc, etc. They said they really wanted true diversity & inclusiveness in the group. They are so breathtakingly bigoted that the Klan would call them prejudiced, but so hypocritical that they’d have a collective seizure if anyone were to tell them that they’re extreme bigots. I intend to do exactly that when I speak at the May 16th final vote meeting. If Oregon pain patients are really lucky, they’ll all keel over in unison when I do.

      *they never selected a CPP to be on the panel, or anyone else with experience in, with, or near actual pain.
