Cr\u00f3nica de la capital de Oreg\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los dem\u00f3cratas de Oreg\u00f3n aprobaron este a\u00f1o una ley que podr\u00eda agregar m\u00e1s de 170.000 beneficiarios de Medicaid a las listas de votantes estatales, pero est\u00e1 en suspenso hasta que los administradores federales act\u00faen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los dos senadores estadounidenses del estado, los dem\u00f3cratas Ron Wyden y Jeff Merkley, enviaron una carta el martes a Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, administradora de los Centros federales de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid, pidiendo una acci\u00f3n r\u00e1pida sobre las exenciones para Oreg\u00f3n y otros estados que planean registrarse autom\u00e1ticamente. los beneficiarios elegibles de Medicaid puedan votar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"De los aproximadamente 200.000 residentes de Oregon elegibles que no est\u00e1n registrados para votar, es probable que m\u00e1s de 85% califiquen para Medicaid a trav\u00e9s del Plan de Salud de Oregon", escribieron los senadores. "Esta ley tiene el potencial de aumentar considerablemente el acceso a la votaci\u00f3n para los residentes de Oreg\u00f3n de bajos ingresos, pero solo podr\u00e1 entrar en vigor una vez que CMS apruebe el intercambio de estos datos entre la Autoridad de Salud de Oreg\u00f3n y la Oficina del Secretario de Estado de Oreg\u00f3n". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde 2016, Oreg\u00f3n ha registrado autom\u00e1ticamente a los votantes elegibles cuando obtienen o renuevan licencias de conducir o identificaciones no operativas del Departamento de Transporte de Oreg\u00f3n. Desde entonces, se han agregado m\u00e1s de 800.000 votantes a las listas estatales, y m\u00e1s de 93% de todos los habitantes de Oregon que son elegibles para votar est\u00e1n registrados, seg\u00fan la Oficina del Secretario de Estado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los residentes de Oregon elegibles se registran autom\u00e1ticamente como votantes no afiliados y luego reciben correo que les permite elegir un partido pol\u00edtico o indicar que no desean registrarse para votar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proyecto de ley 2107 de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes<\/a>, que fue aprobada seg\u00fan las l\u00edneas partidistas esta primavera y fue firmada por la gobernadora Tina Kotek en julio, duplicar\u00eda ese proceso para los inscritos en el Plan de Salud de Oreg\u00f3n. Uno de cada tres habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n recibe su seguro a trav\u00e9s del programa estatal Medicaid, administrado por la Autoridad de Salud de Oreg\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al inscribirse en el Plan de Salud de Oregon, brindan informaci\u00f3n al estado que puede usarse para registrarse para votar, incluidas sus direcciones, firmas y los \u00faltimos cuatro d\u00edgitos de sus n\u00fameros de Seguro Social. Los partidarios de la nueva ley dicen que ayudar\u00e1 a mantener actualizado el censo de votantes: los beneficiarios de Medicaid renuevan sus planes y actualizan sus direcciones anualmente, mientras que las personas pueden pasar a\u00f1os sin interactuar con la divisi\u00f3n de Conductores y Veh\u00edculos Motorizados. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La nueva ley entrar\u00e1 en vigor el 1 de enero, pero primero el gobierno federal debe permitir que la Autoridad de Salud de Oreg\u00f3n comparta datos con la Oficina del Secretario de Estado. Los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid llevan cuatro a\u00f1os detener tales solicitudes de Colorado<\/a>, que aprob\u00f3 una ley similar a la de Oreg\u00f3n en 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Massachusetts se le ha permitido registrar autom\u00e1ticamente a los votantes que interact\u00faan con agencias de servicios sociales, incluido Medicaid, y m\u00e1s de 165.000 votantes<\/a> se agregaron a las listas de votantes a trav\u00e9s de dichos programas en el ciclo electoral 2021-22. El sistema de Massachusetts permite a los votantes optar por no compartir informaci\u00f3n con funcionarios electorales mientras se registran para recibir servicios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero Oreg\u00f3n, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada y Washington, DC aprobaron leyes que exigen que los votantes opten por no registrarse para votar devolviendo el correo despu\u00e9s del hecho. Los administradores federales se opusieron a esas propuestas, y Brooks-LaSure le dijo el a\u00f1o pasado al senador estadounidense Michael Bennet, dem\u00f3crata por Colorado, que la ley de Colorado parec\u00eda entrar en conflicto<\/a> con protecciones de privacidad de Medicaid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En su carta a Brooks-LaSure, Wyden y Merkley citaron un orden ejecutiva 2021<\/a> del presidente Joe Biden que llama a todas las agencias federales a evaluar formas de promover el registro y la participaci\u00f3n de los votantes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa ampliaci\u00f3n (del registro autom\u00e1tico de votantes) ha demostrado ser una de las v\u00edas m\u00e1s prometedoras para promover el acceso al voto, pero los estados necesitan el apoyo del gobierno federal para implementarla\u201d, escribieron los senadores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le pidieron a Brooks-LaSure que les dijera antes del 20 de septiembre qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 haciendo su agencia para cumplir con la orden ejecutiva de Biden, qu\u00e9 recursos necesita la agencia para ayudar a Oreg\u00f3n y otros estados que buscan exenciones federales para registrar autom\u00e1ticamente a los beneficiarios de Medicaid para votar y compartir un cronograma. para cu\u00e1ndo esos estados recibir\u00e1n enmiendas. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
