NE3: Fight PTSD Act

[Blair]

I support the idea of this bill-we should always be looking to expand mental health coverage. I'm going to be releasing my plan in the upcoming days to tackle the heroin epidemic in the Northeast, and mental health will be a big part of this.

However I can't support the amount of money that's being spent

[Blair]

As I said before I'd much rather roll this into a wider mental health scheme-we already put 25 million into the CFTIN Act with helped Veterans, and IRC 'Fritzcare' specifies that mental health should be covered

IRC? What's that?

Also, if the Governor reveals the "wider mental health scheme", I might withdraw this bill.

If I recall- I was trying to remember if healthcare insurance companies are required by law to treat PTSD, if not as Governor I'm allowed to regulate to ensure that.

It's just I don't like to give blanket bills that say 'I give x to treat y'

All from the 2014 Reforming Atlasian Public Health Act, healthcare is always hard work to deal with in Atlasia

I'd be more than willing to sign an assembly act that basically puts my executive order into act-basically say health insurance providers in the Northeast must cover mental illness including PTSD-I'd be happy to include a bit of funding in this to keep it reasonable for patients

Basically says that health insurance has to cover PTSD, and gives funding to explore the issue further
