US House to Vote on Mental Health Parity


/// ALERT /// ALERT /// ALERT /// ALERT /// ALERT ///
US House to Vote on Financial Bailout Bill which was
added to the Mental Health Parity Bill

Call your U.S. House Rep and tell them NO to
As you may know, the US Senate passed this bill. Now it heads to the House of Representatives where a vote is expected tomorrow - Friday Oct 3, 2008!
The financial bail out language was added to the parity bill.
A call to your US Representative is needed immediately. Remember: All the attention right now is on the bail out, not on mental health parity. If you simply call a legislative aide and say, "We don't want this mental health parity bill to pass," you are likely to get the answer that the House isn't considering mental health parity, they are considering the Bail Out bill.
Therefore, to keep the message simple, the easiest thing to do would be to call in opposing the bail out because you don't want mental health parity. NO to HR 1424! Get your friends to call!!
If this bill passes, it may lead to insurers being required to cover treatment for
"disorders" included in psychiatry's billing bible, the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM) , such as
“spelling disorder,”
“nicotine use or withdrawal,”
“mathematics disorder,”
“oppositional defiant disorder”
and “sibling rivalry disorder.”
All of which will obviously lead to - more psychiatric drugging!
