Health Insurance Parity Passed and Signed
After a 20-year effort to require group health plans to cover treatment for mental illness on the same terms and conditions as all other illnesses, Congress has passed the Paul Wellstone-Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. NAMI is extremely grateful for the tireless work of advocates that contacted their Senators and House members to push for this landmark legislation. The voices of people living with mental illness and their families made a tremendous difference in securing this long sought victory. Special thanks to all the members of the Minnesota delegation who supported the bill and to Rep. Jim Ramstad for his extraordinary leadership on this legislation.
