Environmental Health
In 2007 the Oregon Environmental Council and the Oregon Collaborative for Health and the Environment tested ten Oregonians to see how much chemical pollution was in their bodies. The results may surprise you.
An incredible turnaround for a 52-year old man. He was involved in an experimental treatment that revved up his immune system. The article is on the Philadelphia Inquirer web site: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/health_science/daily/20080619_Treatment_cures_Oregon_man_s_deadly_skin_cancer.html.
Another article about OHP not covering cancer treatment. This article is by Fox News at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,392962,00.html. This article is about a 53-year old Dexter man.

Here is a new story I found that you may want to review: http://www.kval.com/news/26140519.html. It is about the Oregon Health Plan covering assisted suicide but not a new cancer treatment. There is also a video at http://www.kval.com/news/26140519.html?video=YHI&t=a.
There was also a follow-up article in The Oregonian: http://www.oregonlive.com/editorials/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/editorial/1217289319150190.xml&coll=7.
