Oregon health plan covers assisted
suicide, not drugs, for cancer patient
An
Oregon woman suffering from lung cancer was notified by the state-run Oregon
Health Plan that their policy would not cover her life-extending cancer
drug, telling her the health plan would cover doctor-assisted suicide

you to die, but not pay for you to live, it’s cruel,” she said. “I get
