Patrick J. Kennedy: “I hope also that transparency can occur. It is America that is suffering when we are not allowed to do the job.”

We all end up picking up the tab for not enforcing parity.

Congress and the country have really never appropriated the necessary resources for this crisis.

I appreciate this is a bipartisan process, especially on mental health, which affects every family.
