As you note in your helpful article, the passage of the mental health parity bill may be lost in the economic focus of the $700 billion bail out bill. But the parity bill is not lost to the many people in Kansas who suffer from or are related to someone with a mental illness. Long after the economy is on the road to recovery, the parity bill will still be helping people with mental health problems and their families. While the bill is certainly not perfect, and there is still legislative activity needed (especially on the state level here in Kansas and many other states), it is a gigantic, and overdue, step in the right direction.
