🧵The fight for Medicaid is near and dear to Inseparable’s work. #MedicaidIsMentalHealth

One of the arguments for scaling back the ACA Medicaid expansion is that enrollees are "able-bodied" and don't need health care. 44% of Medicaid expansion enrollees have a chronic condition.

For the record it’s one Democrat in the Michigan House blocking mental health parity bills. One. That member and Blue Cross. As people are suffering and even dying. This isn’t Coke or Pepsi. It’s life or death and those blocking this are doing something actually evil.

Our state is in the middle of a mental health crisis. Yet one Dem and health insurance giant is blocking HB 4707 which would bring desperately needed relief and save lives.

Join her as she talks about how her daughter’s generation offers her hope for destigmatizing help and the mental health legislation she’s working on in Michigan.

Improving mental health means ensuring people receive the care they need—and have paid for—from their insurance. @GovKathyHochul: "One would say, I have insurance. Isn’t that supposed to cover everything? Guess what. They have not been doing this." news10.com/news/ny-ag-ins…

"We kept hearing nightmare stories about Americans not getting the treatment that they needed," said Bill Smith. "But we didn't have enough data to show just how extensive and deep the problem was." Read the full @NPR story featuring our founder below. npr.org/sections/healt…

@BCBSAssociation’s @seanmrobbins at @NatlGovsAssoc mental health panel: “You cannot change what you cannot measure.” We agree. We need uniform tools for measuring mental health needs so everyone gets the care they deserve.

Today and all weekend we #WearOrange. Because it is easier in our country to get a gun than mental health care, and the rates of self inflicted gun violence are fueling our nation's suicide epidemic. It's time for meaningful change. 📸 NAMI's Chief Advocacy Officer @HannahWes.

.@HannahWes: "Everyone is working toward improving this day after day... [It] gives me a lot of hope that we're going to be facing a future where everyone knows 988." abcnews.go.com/Health/988-sui…

Short-term health plans put people w/ mental health conditions at a greater risk for increased costs, insufficient coverage, financial instability & unmet health need. Thanks @FrankPallone @USRepKCastor & @RepAnnaEshoo for urging officials to roll back expansion of junk plans.

Be it resolved: The 118th Congress must keep working on mental health thehill.com/opinion/congre…

🗞 "According to analysis by [NAMI], only five states have passed legislation to fund 988 with a small fee to people's cell phone bills – much like the 911 fee people already pay. And only 16 states have created a trust fund to permanently fund 988 and related crisis services."
