Oh
@DanRayfield @AGDanRayfield Oh, perfect. Only in Oregon does the playbook write itself.
PacificSource finally taps out of Lane County after years of getting squeezed by Salem and what does Tina Kotek's Oregon Health Authority do? Hands 96,000 Medicaid patients straight to Trillium on February 1 like it's a participation trophy. No competition, no choice, just "congratulations, you're now a Trillium customer."
Two months later, TWO MONTHS Trillium's parent company Centene slides $50,000 into Kotek's re election account. That's not a donation, folks, that's a thank you card with a lot of zeroes.
And this is the same Centene that the Democrat AG in 2022 Ellen Rosenblum said "took advantage of Oregon" when they got caught overcharging our Medicaid drug program and had to cough up a $17 million settlement.
So let me get this straight, OregonWolf style, the company that ripped off taxpayers gets rewarded with 96,000 new lives worth about $56 million a year, then writes a check to the governor who gave them the business, and we're all supposed to pretend this is "health equity"?
Which brings me to the question, Where in the world is AG Dan Rayfield?
Dan, buddy, you campaigned on "holding corporations accountable." You inherited the file that says Centene took advantage of Oregon. Now they're back, bigger, fatter, and cutting checks to your boss. Are you investigating? Are you recusing? Are you at least pretending to read the ORESTAR filings?
Or are you just doing the usual Salem two step, press release on Monday, fundraiser on Tuesday, crickets on Wednesday while Trillium cashes the Medicaid checks?
Oregonians got forced into a monopoly, Kotek got $50k, Centene got $56 million in new business, and Dan Rayfield got... quiet. Real quiet.
Follow the money, Lane County. It's not complicated. OregonWolf Out 🇺🇸 🐺
