Ramstad reaches out to colleague recovering from addiction

~ Jason Schwartz


Now we know who Pat K.’s sponsor is.

More importantly, the article also provides some good news on the status of parity. (If you don’t know what parity is, here’s a mental health parity policy brief I wrote for the state medical society. ) It appears that they have enough votes to pass parity, but the house leadership won’t allow a vote. Maybe parity will pass when there is a change in house leadership.

We can hope.
