The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would require insurance companies to provide coverage for mental health and substance abuse treatment in the same way they cover other medical conditions.

may have a negative impact by overriding some states' mental health coverage. It may also raise insurance rates and cause employers to drop mental health coverage completely.
