Campaigns: Addiction Recovery Insurance Equity
Victory on Ending Insurance Discrimination in Sight!
On Tuesday, the US House and US Senate voted on the "Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act." The House approved the bill, H.R. 6983,on a vote of 376 to 47. In the Senate, the bill was included as part of a much larger bill, what’s called the tax extenders package, on a vote of 93 to 2. While both bills are the same when it comes to how they will address insurance discrimination facing people with addiction and mental illness, each has a different way to pay for the bill. Those differences must be addressed before a final bill can be sent to the President for his signature. The Washington Post reported on the progress this morning. Thanks for all of your advocacy and we’ll keep you posted on further developments.
