Thank you!  Yes, we are in dire  need of mental health care access.  As a parent of an adult with bipolar disorder, I have spent many hours researching access, etc. without much success.  Being told 'get on Medicaid or you can't afford us' is a constant refrain.  What you get is medication.  What is much more difficult to find are qualified therapists who will take Medicaid.  Often those with mental health care needs are unemployable and cannot afford to access care.  Without Medicaid expansion many had no access just for the medications.  Medication alone does not 'cure' the problem.  We need some serious discussions on what is driving up costs for people to afford ANY health care in this state.  And if you have a mental health  problem your costs will be far higher than those with 'everyday' health care issues.  Consumer driven access is not the same as affordable health care.
