If you flew a couple of times last year, it shouldn’t surprise you that air travel was less reliable than in 2024. In fact, both cancellations and delays increased in 2025, leading to the worst on-time performance since 2014. Check out our new report, Plane Truth.
Happening tonight!
Have you been affected by the high cost of prescription drugs? Attend an upcoming forum being held by Oregon's Prescription Drug Affordability Board and let them know!

Read about our experience with an AI therapist here: pirg.org/edfund/article…
AI therapists, what could go wrong? Maybe… asking a @uspirg researcher to stop listening to her real therapist and quit her meds? We dove into the world of chatbot therapists, and what we found wasn’t pretty.
Read more about our plan to end these unfair fees here: pirg.org/oregon/article…
We're taking aim at confusing and unjustified hospital bills. We’re building support to lower health care costs by banning “facility fees,” a charge that is popping up more and more that needlessly increases the cost of routine medical appointments.
On Friday, @OHAOregon announced that they would adjust Oregon cost growth target to 3.75% per year. Health care costs are growing rapidly, with premiums far outpacing inflation. The program aims to address this rapid increase in health care costs. Our statement:
There’s one thing Oregonians agree on: health care costs too much and is too hard to navigate. That’s why we recently launched a Health Care Roadshow, bringing presentations to community groups around the state about how to navigate medical bills and insurance networks, and more.
OSPIRG retweeted
We were happy to participate in this discussion about how Prescription Drug Affordability Boards can set upper payment limits on high cost drugs. #AffordableDrugsNOW
We hosted an event featuring experts from two states that could serve as models for Oregon’s attempts to bring down drug prices.
We hosted an event featuring experts from two states that could serve as models for Oregon’s attempts to bring down drug prices.
In 2023, over $4.3 billion was spent in Oregon on Rx. Yet last year nearly 1/3 of Oregonians rationed their medication or skipped doses due to cost. Join OSPIRG, @hca_oregon, and @AffordableRxOR to learn how we got here and how we can make a change. RSVP: pirg.org/oregon/events/…
