Lincoln County

Especially after the Time Magazine article came out, the idea of forming guerrilla militia companies spread wildly across the state.

A similar group sprang up almost immediately in Lincoln County, a group calling itself the Bushwhackers had already formed in southeast Portland three months before, and another guerrilla club now formed in Independence.

And across the state, as April dawned, the guerrilla militia movement started taking Oregon by storm.

Meanwhile, the Oregon State Guard was growing nearly as quickly.

No, the county seat of Lincoln County.

And it's a pretty great story.

Right.

So Blue Cross left several years ago, along with Moda Health.

And of course, as we know, Samaritan left in 2020. at the end tail end of 2025, leaving just the devoted health plan here in Lincoln County.

And devoted is a very, very strong carrier.

They'll be in 34 states this next year.
