Summary:
This report provides a detailed history of mental health parity legislation,including a discussion of bills introduced in each Congress, and accompanyinglegislative action, including hearings, markups, and floor votes. The legislation is inresponse to concerns about the coverage of mental health benefits in group healthplans, which is often more restricted than the coverage of physical illness.
