McNadoMD on Nostr: Did you know that before the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), mental health services ...
Did you know that before the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), mental health services were often not paid for by insurance? The ACA/Obamacare requires insurance companies to pay for mental health services (depression medication, office visits, certain hospitalizations, some therapy). Around 20% of Americans use these services. If the Republicans win in November, any of us using those services can expect to immediately be paying out of pocket (if we can afford it).
