By providing more money without looking at how treatment isoffered, Clinton’s mental health agenda is a false economy

摘要

This week, Hillary Clinton announced a new agenda for mental health if she wins the White Houseudin November, which would increase funding and would create parity of mental health services withinudthe US healthcare system. Elizabeth Cotton writes that while Clinton’s new policy has promise, ituddoes not address how mental health services are delivered, and by who. Not only is the agendaudover reliant on short term behavioral interventions, but the precariousness of work in the US,udcombined with the private healthcare system, raises questions for those who might seek treatmentudand provide it under it.
