There’s never
been a more dangerous time for people with mental illness. The Graham-Cassidy health
reform bill is up for a vote—and
it could take away your mental health care.
Health reform impacts the lives of every American, so it needs to be done right. But the Graham-Cassidy bill gets it wrong for people with mental illness.
And the
vote is going to be close.
The Graham-Cassidy bill:
- Allows states to change the
rules so health plans don’t have to cover mental health care.
- Slashes billions from Medicaid funding, which will make it harder for people to get local
mental health services.
- Ends the Medicaid expansion that covers adults with mental health and substance
use conditions who don’t usually qualify for Medicaid.
- Cuts financial assistance to buy health insurance, making mental health coverage unaffordable for many.
This isn't a fire drill.
