There's more news about making mental health care fair. I follow newsletters and websites about mental health: Disability Scoop is one of them. A September 16, 2024 Disability Scoop article by Michelle Diament announced Biden administration changes to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act making it more difficult for insurers to deny coverage for mental health challenges, substance use disorder and/or intellectual disabilities which affect a person's ability to engage in self-care. I'll point to the final rules, but WOW there's A LOT of legalese and 452 clauses. Even I won't be reading it.
Hello Lauren - good mental health is something I think everyone can agree. Maybe by focusing on the similarities we can overcome any differences. Hmm. . .

I don't understand why legal documents can't be written in simple to understand words. Is it all about job security?

George Souto Yes yes and yes again. I don't know anyone, personally or professionally, who can claim s/he doesn't know someone who suffers from mental health challenges. I can list friends, family, clients, colleagues who either struggle or know people who struggle. This is just about basic human decency. Lauren
