As a physician, I have been involved in treating mental illnesses and my family has suffered from mental illnesses, and I have a tremendous interest in this area. But this bill is going to actually drive people away from being able to have health insurance coverage. There are many things about this bill that are wrong and bad. I know it is well-intended, but I highly encourage people to vote against this bill because, though the bill is well-intended, I think it is going to cause disastrous effects and I think employers are going to opt out from giving their employees mental health coverage on their insurance. So I highly encourage my colleagues to vote against this bill.
