   Comments: Without employment or viable means of support, my sister is unable to get ongoing mental health care, refused for food stamps and lives on a meager stipend. We wholly support her which puts an impossible strain on our family income, well being and quality of life.

   Comments: For years we addicts have been told, as has the public in general, that addiction is a disease. We have also been told that both Addiction and Mental Illness involve disorders of the brain. I personally interpret this to mean that both are MEDICAL conditions and deserve the same attention, funding, and insurance reimbursement as any other medical condition. Thank You.

   Comments: this directly impacted my son last year and we were not approved to stay at a mental health facility because New Directions deemed it not necessary and my son had just been declared mentally incompetent by a judge and was put on Lithium for the first time. We had to pay $5,000 out of our own pocket.

   Comments: Mental illness is as serious and widespread a problem as any other ailment. People dealing with such health issues should be provided the same level of care and resources as any other ill patient.

    Comments: BCBS, for far too long, has been allowed to, knowingly, deny coverage for addiction treatment! My son's life was completely derailed by this kind of criminal behavior conducted by BCBS!

    Comments: I disagree with how you all are handling the services for those with mental illness or need just temporary psychological assistance. This prevents excellent doctors from being covered under your program and I would recommend that you all reevaluate this

    Comments: It's easy to discriminate against the mentally ill & substance abuse patients because they don't have the will or power to fight back. These are illnesses that affect the patient and their family with devastating consequences!

    Comments: Mental Health Reform is the answer. People need to be able to seek help for themselves & their loved ones before tragedy strikes. Someone I love VERY much went to the ER in MI due to having suicidal thoughts and MI Blue Cross denied coverage for her ER visit due to the mental health reason for going in. We had to fight this to get it paid by BCBS. Shame on them....should she have done the alternative & not gone for help? Government needs to focus on ways to help states help us, those in the mental health field, help the mentally ill....that would be time and money well spent.

    Comments: unless your rich no one can get a dependant or older in a mental health facility for treatment and long term stay..our health insurance companys have made it too costly for families and or caregivers and nearly impossible for long term stay...thats why our prisons are full to capiticty of mental health patients..just becaused Regan closed the facilities in the 80's does not mean theres not a need for care and treatment of those who may never be sane and be able to function in society.....Help us be able to get help and treatment without insurance companies telling us what and how to care for the mentally challenged on their terms.....
