Mental Health Parity Passed

By Sandra Kiume

“The passage tonight of the Mental Health Parity bill underscores our commitment to treat all patients facing all diseases with the dignity and respect they deserve,” said Senator Edward M. Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat and a co-sponsor.

A NYT article heralds Tuesday night’s unanimous passage of the bill, a major milestone for American health insurance parity advocates. I’m sure John will have more to say on the matter later, but here’s a good news headline for the morning in Eastern time (late night in PST).

Sandra Kiume is a mental health advocate. Along with contributing to World of Psychology, she writes Channel N, PsychCentral's brain and behaviour video blog, and is the founder of @unsuicide. She lives in Vancouver, Canada.
