Our view: Mental health parity bill is only a start
A bill before the Legislature won’t fix the woeful state of insurance coverage of mental health care in Wisconsin – but it’s a step in the right direction.
AB 512, which would close some of the loopholes in the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, has bipartisan support. That’s a good sign, but the legislation’s more important accomplishment will be its role in the long, slow project of normalizing and mainstreaming mental health care.
Why is this important?
