Issue: Health insurance policies continue to discriminate against those living with mental health and addiction needs by limiting coverage and charging significantly higher co-payments to access such treatment and services. Inadequate treatment for mental health and addiction disorders costs the US economy hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Coverage and co-payments for mental health and addiction services should be the same as it is for other health services.

Action: Pass Timothy’s Law - A.2912 (Tonko) / S.6735 (Duane)
