Patrick J. Kennedy: “We have got to address the stigma, and we have got to put the resources behind these efforts.”

We wouldn't expect any less if there were any other illness. And yet we settled for less than 20 percent of Americans getting any of that today in this country.

What we're trying to do is make the spirit of parity a practical reality.

We have so underfunded this system for so long, why is it a big surprise that we don't have enough providers in the field?

I want to thank the Biden Administration. They’ve put teeth into the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act.
