U Can Help…Pass
Parity!
Did you know that most health
plans don’t cover
treatment for mental health problems (for example, visits to
a therapist, stays in
a hospital or prescriptions) the same way they do for physical
health. That means people who are struggling with a mental health
problem and
their families have to pay extra for the help they need or go without
any care.
We think this is discriminatory. So,
we’re trying to get Congress
to pass a law that will ensure ‘Mental Health Parity’ or,
in other words, Equal Treatment in Health Care Coverage for Kids
and Adults with Mental Illnesses.
Here’s
some info so you can get involved in this fight against discrimination.
