Desc1. PROTECT ANTIBIOTICS WITH MEDICAL AUTHORITIES WARNING OF THAT WE ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING ANTIBIOTICS, OSPIRG JOINED A NATIONAL COALITION WORKING TO END THE OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS ON FARM ANIMALS - A MAJOR AREA OF OVERUSE. IN FY16, OUR JOINT CAMPAIGN HELPED CONVINCE MCDONALDS TO SERVE CHICKEN THAT ISN'T RAISED WITH ANTIBIOTICS. WORKING OFF THAT SUCCESS, WE LAUNCHED A SECOND EFFORT TO PERSUADE KFC TO ADOPT A SIMILAR POLICY FOR ALL OF THEIR MEAT. MEANWHILE, WE ALSO CONTINUED A CAMPAIGN OF DOCTORS, FARMERS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS TO PRESS STATE LAWMAKERS TO CURTAIL THE OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS ON OREGON'S FACTORY FARMS. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O. 2. MAKING HEALTH CARE WORK FOR OREGON AS THE COST OF INSURING AN AVERAGE FAMILY OF FOUR HIT 20,000 A YEAR, ACCORDING TO ONE ESTIMATE, ANOTHER RECENT STUDY CONFIRMED THAT AT LEAST 30% OF ALL HEALTH CARE SPENDING IS WASTED ON UNNECESSARY PROCEDURES AND INEFFICIENCY. OSPIRG IS WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY DOES MORE TO CUT UNNECESSARY WASTE AND FOCUS ON PREVENTIVE CARE THAT GETS RESULTS, RATHER THAN PASSING THE COSTS OF THIS WASTE ONTO CONSUMERS. 3. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OSPIRG FOUNDATION, WE CONTINUED ALERTING OSPIRG MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE TO SIGNIFICANT HEALTH INSURANCE RATE HIKE PROPOSALS, USING OSPIRG FOUNDATION RESEARCH TO INFORM THOSE EFFORTS. IN APRIL, WE ALSO ORGANIZED OVER TWO THOUSAND OREGONIANS TO CONTACT STATE OFFICIALS ABOUT A NUMBER OF REQUESTS BY INSURERS TO HIKE PREMIUMS. SINCE 2010, ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY BY STATE OFFICIALS HAS CUT OVER 180 MILLION IN WASTE FROM HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND SMALL BUSINESSES. 4. WALL STREET REFORM IN ITS FIFTH YEAR, THE NEW CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU (CFPB) DEMONSTRATED THE POSITIVE IMPACT THAT A FULL TIME FEDERAL CONSUMER WATCHDOG CAN HAVE FOR CONSUMERS WHO ARE MISLED OR CHEATED BY THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY. CONGRESS CREATED THE CFPB IN 2010, AFTER AN EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN WALL STREET BANKS AND CONSUMER ADVOCATES, INCLUDING OSPIRG AND OUR FEDERATION OF PIRGS IN 23 STATES. TO DATE, THE CFPB HAS PROVIDED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN RELIEF FOR CONSUMERS HARMED BY ILLEGAL PRACTICES, AND INSTITUTED NUMEROUS MARKETPLACE CHANGES TO HELP CONSUMERS AVOID GETTING RIPPED OFF. WITH SUCCESS COMES A BACKLASH FROM THE BANKING INDUSTRY, WHO WORKED HARD TO TRY AND DEFANG THE NEW AGENCY. OSPIRG'S FEDERAL CONSUMER PROGRAM ED MIERZWINSKI WORKED WITH OUR NATIONAL COALITION TO SUCCESSFULLY FIGHT BACK THESE EFFORTS - FOR NOW. 5. RECLAIM OUR DEMOCRACY THE INFLUENCE OF WEALTHY SPECIAL INTERESTS IN THE FUNDING OF ELECTIONS HAS ERODED PUBLIC TRUST IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND HAS DISCOURAGED CIVIC PARTICIPATION. IN FY16, OSPIRG LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN TO IMPLEMENT A SYSTEM OF PUBLIC FINANCING FOR ELECTIONS IN THE CITY OF PORTLAND. WE WORKED WITH A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE CITY TO DEVELOP POLICY AND IDENTIFY CHAMPIONS WHO COULD HELP PASS IT THROUGH CITY COUNCIL.Desc
