Kathleen Sebelius announces new mental health parity requirements for health insurers

Washington Examiner ^ | 11-8-2013

[markomalley]

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Friday said that new requirements imposed on insurance companies by Obamacare will require those companies to treat mental illness and addiction that same as physical illness, creating "the largest behavioral health expansion in a generation."

Sorry. I see what actually wrote was “In the business the old drugs of the sixties and seventies are taking off again in popularity. Haldol, Thorazine, Stelazine, Clozaril, Lithium, Valium, Ativan, Librium.”

[ridesthemiles]

IMO, the shrinks are worse off mentally than any of us.

They chose that ‘profession’ because they could interact with more of their own lunatics.

- ObamaPhoney -

- So where is my $2500 healthcare premium saving Goofy-Golfer you promised me?

- Did Obama’s lawyers before the US Supreme Court spew all of Goofy’s BS lies:

“I guarantee you can keep your doctor and your healthcare plan; nobody can take them away from you! PERIOD”

[Grampa Dave]

The liberal shrinks, which is probably most shrinks, will be doing very well under Obozocare:

if you have a “mental issue” you may be disqualified from certain other “rights.”

Smoking?

Driving?

Guns?

Where you live?

What you eat?

Profession?

Plumber with shattered arm left horrifically bent out of shape has operation 'cancelled four times'

By Daily Mail Reporter UPDATED: 16:42 EST, 8 October 2009

How the Jobcentre can say I'm fit I don't know. I was on incapacity benefit until a few weeks ago when I went to be assessed by a doctor in Luton.

'He said because I can turn on a tap and I can lift my arm I don't qualify for help.

'Now I'm worried about losing my house. I've got a mortgage on it and there are credit cards debts I'm struggling to pay because I can't work.'

His second operation in May 2009 was also cancelled, this time because he had failed to act on our surgeon's advice that Mr Eeles that he should give up smoking.

“The housing should be on farms so they will be able to work, for everyone needs to have something to get up for.

Yeah...that works great....till you have to buy seed from the gobmint store......

See tag like for example....(Stalin refused to supply the Kulaks with seed....and millions died)

“Yeah...that works great....till you have to buy seed from the gobmint store......See tag like for example....(Stalin refused to supply the Kulaks with seed....and millions died)”

That quote was a copy/paste from somebody else. I don’t think you’d get homeless people to work, period. I think that’s why they’re homeless. That and addiction to drugs. I don’t actually think homelessness is a problem except for the people who think it is. A study done in Sarasota revealed that many of the homeless had retirement incomes sufficient to live on and simply didn’t want a house. Their begging was making the equivalent (for taxes) of $30,000. But, then again, Sarasota may not be typical because it’s both incredibly rich and a garden spot.

We are all Greeks now ....from Zakynthos

By Nick Squires, Zakynthos 8:11PM BST 28 Apr 2012

Even by the extravagant standards of Greek corruption, the scam uncovered by Stelios Bozikis is so brazen that it is hard to credit.

Nearly 600 people on the Ionian island of Zakynthos - of which Mr Bozikis was recently elected mayor - managed to have themselves falsely declared blind, entitling them to fat monthly cheques from the state.

They included taxi drivers, shopkeepers and restaurant owners, farmers tending the island's patchwork of vineyards and olive groves, and a few amateur hunters, whose purported disability did not stop them from spending their weekends shooting rabbits and birds in the rugged mountains of the interior.

The Bind leading the blind.

health treatment should be widely available free.

How much does 'free' cost?

[manc]

then first in line for mental help should be those who think they’re the opposite sex, then cross dressing and homosexuals.

Oh wait, it will be those with guns, vets, or those who speak against this regime.

Next will be put them in an institution or take their rights away.

[manc]

those communists goals are very handy for those who want to be informed.

From infiltrating a political party to homosexuality, to the media to now this then there is no way that anyone can deny that this Govt is on a communist path and those who vote for this are either low/no info voters or communists themselves but can’t admit it.

[manc]

just said the same, those who think they’re the opposite sex and homosexuals should be looked at first then secondly those who support them

[opres]

Why can’t Sebelius STFU? The darkest moment in the history of Kansas was electing this POS as governor.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

So does this mean Nancy Pelosi will finally get treatment for her psychosis? Oh wait, she made sure she’s exempt from Obamacare even though she pushed it more than anyone.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

My husband asked me what I wanted for my Birthday. I told him, ‘Something expensive and unnecessary.’

He signed me up for 0bamacare!

Ba-Dump-Dump! Thanks, I’ll be here all week! Try the veal and don’t forget to ‘tip’ your waitress! :)

[popdonnelly]

Here we have a government that is totally out of control. Sebelius should be fired, but she’s still in control and endorsing new regulations.

[Smokin' Joe]

...go on a real bender, then take a few weeks vaca at Passages Malibu!

Hey! If you get cured (instead of end up just recovering) do you still have to go to all those meetings?

[Missouri gal]

Sibelius is not so much brain dead as criminal. The Queen of Late Term Abortion is continuing to serve the same masters she did while running roughshod over consciences and the law while Governor of Kansas. Obamacare-and socialism in general- is all about letting criminals govern.

[Carry_Okie]

They'll make private plans so expensive that virtually everyone will go on Medicaid, a default form of single-payer system for all but the rich or connected.

See tag line.

This is about expanding the dragnet to disarm people.
