Patrick J. Kennedy: “It is absolutely the wrong policy for our country to be privatizing the commons.”

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

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

We ought to be encouraging people in this country to seek mental health. That should not be a disqualifying factor.

This is why it is time to pass the Telemental Health Expansion Act which I introduced, as I mentioned, with Congresswoman Doris Matsui.
