Dislikes
This is over the top attempts to justify increased costs to pad the revenue for the OHCA mental health department and pharmaceutical companies.
This legislation mandates medical personnel to offer mental health screening on routine office visits. This is an interference in the doctor/patient primacy and increases government mandates.
