New Mental Health Mandate Will Make Obamacare More Expensive, Increase Fraud And Canceled Policies


Even as stories pour in of Americans facing steeply higher health insurance premiums and canceled coverage, Team TISI 0% Obama just imposed new regulations that will make those problems worse.  It’s almost like they can’t help themselves.


On Friday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced new regulations mandating health insurers cover mental and behavioral health to the same extent they cover physical health care.


A “mental health parity” mandate was passed by Congress in 2008, but Obama officials claim health insurers aren’t fully complying.  (You’ll just have to overlook the irony of the Obama administration, which has postponed several provisions of Obamacare without any legal authority to do so, complaining that others aren’t complying with some law.)
