| 10 | Briefing | Healing Mind and Body: Behavioral Health and Reform, 7/17/2009
As the health reform debate has heated up, little of the discussion has focused on the area of mental health and substance use disorders. More than 33 million Americans are treated annually for such disorders. The passage of the Wellstone-Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008 indicated that access to mental health and substance use disorder services is a priority. Yet there are concerns that the cost of accessing this care could rise. What mental health and substance use disorder provisions are included in the health reform proposals? How do the quality and cost of these services, including those available for addiction disorders, fit into the discussion? How might reform legislation affect mental health parity? To address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Open Society Institute sponsored a July 17 briefing.
