Presidential Candidates - Their Stands on Mental Health Care
Thursday February 7, 2008
The results of the 22 state primaries held on Super Tuesday were definitive on the Republican side of the house with John McCain the front runner by a sizable margin. Subsequently Mitt Romney suspended his campaign on February 7th. Then there were two. Mike Huckabee is now calling for previous Romney supporters to back his race. The Democratic primaries clearly indicated one result – the race between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama will be a photo finish.
A few states still have primaties. If you will be voting in one of these or if you are now evaluating who will get your presidential vote, it is important to know where the candidates stand on essential mental health care issues.
Do they support mental health parity - requiring mental illnesses to be covered by insurance the same way as physical conditions? What will they do for people who can't afford insurance - or cannot get insurance because of pre-existing mental or physical illnesses?

Actually there are three Republican candidates still in the race. Ron Paul has not dropped out. Even if he’s an unlikely candidate, I think he should be covered. I think people deserve to know all their choices. Thanks!
