House statement backing equal insurance coverage for mental and physical health — no law or coverage changes
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution states the House's view that mental health should get the same care as physical health. It does not change any law, spend any money, or change what your health plan covers. Even if the House agrees to it, it would not have the force of law. It backs "parity," meaning health plans cover mental health care as well as they cover physical care. It asks for full use of the parity laws already on the books. It also backs the 2024 national plan to prevent suicide. It calls for more mental health workers, addiction treatment that uses medicine, and better crisis care. It cites about 49,000 suicide deaths and 110,000 overdose deaths in 2023.
Congressional Summary
This resolution expresses support for parity between insurance coverage of mental health and physical health treatment and for the Department of Health and Human Services' 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.
