“ Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., has spent years fighting for legislation that would require insurance plans to treat mental health patients on par with those who have physical ailments. No more higher copays or deductibles for the mental health treatments. No more limits on visits to the doctor that differ from the caps for other patients. […] Overall, the parity legislation is expected to cost the federal government about $3.4 billion over 10 years. That’s because employers will have more health expenses that they can deduct from their income taxes.
