Stop Senate from Overturning State Mental Health Parity Laws
The US Senate is considering a bill that would repeal state laws that ensure consumers access to adequate mental health benefits. How will your Senator vote?
If passed, the proposed "Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and Affordability Act" would sweepingly override the work of 39 state legislatures that passed laws to prevent discriminatory coverage of mental health services. It would leave those states' residents (including, perhaps, you) without the help they need should mental health disorders arise in their families.
Your voice can convince your Senators to protect families like yours from losing access to treatment for devastating mental illnesses like addiction, learning disorders, depression, anorexia, and more. Speak up NOW!
