April 24, 2008

On April 23, by a vote of 349-62, the U.S. House passed legislation to halt regulations that would undermine Medicaid financing of critical mental health services. This is an important victory for people with mental illnesses, and NAMI thanks all of our grassroots advocates for their efforts in support of this legislation!
