• Create high-risk pools, which are another way of charging people with mental illness more money and providing less coverage

• One in five Americans experience a mental health condition, but only half get needed treatment.

• Coverage for mental health care helps people get treatment when they need it-helping them to stay in school, on the job and in recovery.
