Don’t take away our mental health coverage.
If hundreds of billions of dollars are cut from Medicaid, it will be harder for people on Medicaid to get psychiatric medications, case management and mental health services. And, some people will lose their eligibility for Medicaid. This will push people with mental illness into costly emergency rooms, hospitals and jails.
The Senate should protect Medicaid and SAY NO to any health reform bill that:
- Caps or limits Medicaid;
- Ends Medicaid expansion;
- Takes away protections for people with mental health conditions; or
- Leaves fewer Americans with coverage for mental illness.
