New Survey Shows Americans Support Parity Even if They Have to Pay For It
NMHA press release - "A whopping 83 percent of Americans believe it’s unfair for health insurance companies to limit mental health benefits and require people to pay much more out-of-pocket for mental health care than for any other medical care. And an overwhelming majority of Americans (79 percent) support parity legislation even if it results in an increase in their health insurance premiums..." See also the abstract and executive summary of the survey (Adobe Acrobat). The NMHA site also includes a summary of the case for mental health parity, a copy of a letter signed by 243 organizations that support the legislation and an extensive set links to related resources. Advocacy on behalf of this legislation seems especially pressing given the Washington Post article earlier this week indicating that the bill may "fall by the wayside" during this Congressional session.
