OPA EFDA Pilot Public Comments of Support

Sample Support Letter

OPA Talking Points

Importance of Submitting Letters

Submitting letters to show support for this next step — waiving the rules so the OPA Pilot can commence — is important to continue progress on the OPA EFDA project and eventually making it law in Missouri. Your letters also are critically important because there are communities of interest that are not supportive of this project. Therefore, we need to send as many supportive comments as possible explaining how this project is one way to provide more needed access to oral health care.
