Medicaid is a federally sponsored program...I am not sure how this question pertains to this bill in question...then again, I do not know anything about medicaid or medicare at all.
Now, back to the original topic.... I wonder if providers will try to skirt around this. Will this change caps on visits to therapists, stays in inpatient facilities... I am optimistic, yet skeptical because there are many ways in which this bill can be skirted around. it is a step in the right direction because there are more opportunities for recovery from mental illness without such limits imposed. Kudos!
