Patrick J. Kennedy: “Parity, equality. If you treat diabetes...you must do the same for a diabetic as you would an alcoholic.”

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

My big issue as you know, Anderson because you've had me on talking about his mental health and addiction and why I'm so pumped about Harris and Walz is Harris as part of the Biden-Harris, have done more for mental health than any other…

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

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