Changes to DMAS
 

All types of health care in the US, with includes mental health care, has always been provided in supervised settings by residents. WHY would we change Mental Health Care to be different?  If teaching hospitals were unable to employ residents to give care to their many patients on Medicare, people would be dying in the emergency rooms, -waiting for a doctor to see  them.  Let's not make Mental Health Care more difficult to obtain.
