Take a look at the part of the Bill that calls for mental health parity in insurance.

While good in theory and possibly in practice, paying the premiums for parity in mental health care can be very expensive.

Are they trying to bankrupt companies or price insurance out of the reach of even more of us? (Or simply making sure that their own, obvious needs are covered?)

This is supposed to be an emergency Bill. The Senators should not include extraneous, expensive and potentially harmful mandates that have nothing to do with the “emergency.”

Excellent reminder!

What is “mental health parity”? They are going to force me to become as crazy as them?

[Madam Theophilus]

What they are trying to do is destroy private medicine. Why? They want national socialist heath care where no one can be treated better than another. It’s equality, not freedom.
