Mental health benefits to rise under Clinton initiatives
Washington plans mandating equal coverage for mental illness and substance abuse across federal plans affecting nine million employees and dependents. The White House conference will unveil steps to improve treatment, fund research, expand Medicaid access, and address needs of children, the elderly, homeless, criminals, veterans, and American Indians. Tipper Gore cites treating mental health as seriously as physical health. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill notes one in four families is affected, while Laurie Flynn calls for greater openness about the issue.
