Incoming state senator files bill to improve access to mental health services
In 2008, Congress passed and then-President George W. Bush signed into law a bill requiring health insurance companies to cover mental health the same as any other health conditions. They left the enforcement of the Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act up to the states. Twelve years after legislation was signed into law, incoming State Senator Greg Razer says 48 states are enforcing that law – Missouri and Oklahoma are not.
