Hello Dr. Zinn,
Thank you for your comment. I can assure you the OPPA is bipartisan when it comes to politics. Through the efforts of the OPPA Government Relations Committee, the OPPA Council, our contract lobbyist and me as executive director, we advocate on behalf of psychiatrists and the patients for whom they care, particularly as it relates to access, treatment and coverage/reimbursement.
The two write-ups about Governor Kasich's state budget were simply posted for information, as articles first published from two other news sources: the Ohio Office of Health Transformation and The Center for Community Solutions. They were not meant to be an endorsement by the OPPA of Governor Kasich.
We very much appreciate your concerns and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Please feel free to contact me directly at anytime.
Best regards,
Janet Shaw
Executive Director

Isn't the Ohio Psychiatric Physicians Association apolitical. What's all this rah rah for Kasich. He cut funds for school districts and some districts are in bad financial trouble Psychiatrists strongly advocate for education and strong public education for all.
