Maarten's observation from yesterday is quite correct.
But if you mis-spoke and you really want to look at the effect on your dependent variable of everybody having ORT=1, a clunky way to do this (assuming that X1 and X2 are uncorrelated with ORT) would be to use the predict command to generate the estimated y (say, y_hat) and then 

. gen policy_effect =y_hat-(b1*x1 + b2*x2 + b3) [you'd pull the coefficients from the e(b) vector ]
