A White House plan could help end decades of whack-a-mole between regulators and insurance companies over covering mental health and addiction treatment.
Big hospital near me removed the only mental health floor in theicounty this year. Mental healthcare just isn’t profitable. The big hospital in my county has a 6 month waiting list to see someone.
The private practice guys don’t take most insurance.
Can confirm about private practice. My insurers mental health website was severely out of date so I had to spend hours upon hours on hold with every private practice in a 20 mile radius to find one that took my insurance. Still ended up on a 3 months long wait-list before I was finally seen.
No, that can’t be, all those online commenters tell me that democrats are beholden to “big money” and this move would hurt insurance companies.

Not really. They’ll just raise their rates.

I’m confused, do you actually believe that Democrats are not beholden to big money?
Yes, I am. Because the democratic party base has chosen a guy to represent them and become president who, together with his party, mass pardoned Marihuana convicts and capped insulin prices to 35$ for private insurants and Medicare recipients and have increased the minimum wage every time it was increased and raised the federal minimum wage to 15$ in the first week of Biden in office and cancelled 66 billion in student loans already and cancelled 10k student loans for everybody and expanded gun safety laws for the first time in 30 years and banned oil and gas price gouging and provided millions for baby formula during the shortage and increased veterans benefits and gave Americans abortion rights in the first place and killed the Keystone XL pipeline and vetoed EPA regulation rollbacks and got you fuckers $1.400 COVID relief checks and expanded unemployment benefits for 9.7 million people and got the fucking Covid vaccine going and ended transgender discrimination in the goverment and protects abortion access and ended family separation
And a party that’s actually beholden to “big money” blocks and votes against all of that. Which Republicans did.
