In an era when mental health, su***de, LGBTQ rights, and bullying are hot topics, the 1998 alt-rock hit is as relevant as when it came out, if not more.

On October 3, 2018, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the enactment of the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. This legislation sought to equalize insurance coverage for physical and mental health care services for people employed by large companies with 50 or more employees. The subsequent passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 made mental health services an “essential health benefit” for millions of Americans not previously covered by the 2008 parity law. Despite enactment of these 2 laws, mental health parity is still not a reality for many Americans. Federal and state regulators must ensure that equal access to mental health and substance use coverage is realized and that insurance companies comply with existing federal and state parity requirements.

TAKE ACTION by contacting your elected officials today to remind them that equal access to mental health and substance use services saves lives. https://afsp.org/our-work/advocacy/action-center/ #/
