[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
Our current health care system is plagued with holes in mental health
coverage.
Even though insurers are legally required to cover behavioral health the
same way as physical health, they don't.^1
Too often, mental health care is a luxury for the rich. But Medicare for
All would change that by guaranteeing comprehensive mental health care to
everyone with no copays, premiums, deductibles, or other cost-sharing. It
would transform people’s ability to receive quality mental health care.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness month in May, we’re collecting stories
from our movement as part of an upcoming project.
[ [link removed] ]We want to hear from you: How would your life – or
the life of a loved one – be different if you/they were able to receive
mental health care?

Sharing our personal stories is key to making the case for Medicare for
All and demonstrating to our elected officials and the country as a whole
what would be different if we had the courage to do what’s right and
guarantee health care to all as a human right.
With your permission – and if you share your story with us – we may reach
out to you to talk further about sharing your experience to illustrate the
importance of mental health care that would be guaranteed under Medicare
for All.
Note: we are not mental health professionals and encourage you to seek
help if needed. You can find a list of resources [ [link removed] ]here.
[ [link removed] ]Please submit your mental health story to us here, and we’ll be in
touch about next steps.
Thank you for sharing, and we look forward to reading your responses.
