Why we checked itSpecific cost-benefit ratio attributed to Oregon's investment in preventive care — a concrete figure that could be verified or refuted against Oregon health policy data.
What we foundOregon's Patient-Centered Primary Care Home program did produce substantial documented savings, but the most authoritative sources cite $13 saved per dollar invested — not $12 — making the specific figure in the claim a slight understatement/imprecision, though some Oregon state documents do use $12 as a rounded figure.
