10-11: Mental Health Parity: The most common mental illnesses are now
easier to treat than ever. At the same time, Americans are more willing to
view mental problems as treatable illnesses. Some states now call for
employers to cover equally the costs for both mental and physical health
care, but employers are fighting federally mandated parity. A panel talks
about changes in mental health care and who should pay for them.
