What is universal health care, and how is Oregon on track to become the first state in the country to adopt it? This new podcast, brought to you by the non-profit Health Care for All Oregon, introduces listeners to what universal health care really means, how it compares to America's current system, and how Oregon is working to win it. In this first teaser episode, you'll meet your hosts and get a birds-eye view of what is happening in Oregon and what to expect from future episodes. Whether or not you live in Oregon, this podcast aims to give you a clear understanding of universal health care and how everyday people can get involved in shaping health care reform wherever they live.

It's complicated. Let's talk about it!
