Broad sweeping legislation like this seems much to far reaching. Surely some parents can provide appropriate care to their children with mental illness, many cannot. If an individual is at risk of hospitlaization due to their mental illness but has no prior hospitalizations, do we wait until they reach their breaking point, and deal with the collateral damage, or do we serve them because they have very real needs and are at risk so they are not as great a risk to themselves or others. I believe these new policies push reactive intervention which will prove much more constly than these proactive services with their current regulations. As others have stated, if a company is not demonstrating a benefit to their members, address the company, not those who are doing their jobs well.
