Reply to "US Congress passes mental health coverage boost"

Wow! Thanks for the news article River. That would be wonderful, but I already see a loop hole that could be frightening:

To quote an excerpt from the article: "The bill will not force health plan providers to give mental health coverage but will make those that offer benefits for mental illness and substance addiction treatment to do so on the same terms as medical and surgical care."

The answer to that for many insurance companies will be to drop the level of coverage for other illnesses. Maybe, I dunno. I hope that will not be the case.
