Evening Edition: Former Congressman Fighting For Mental Health Parity

In 2008, then Congressman Patrick Kennedy, was the lead sponsor of the 'Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act' which was signed into law by President George W. Bush. The law required insurance companies to cover treatment for mental health disorders the same as any other illness. Kennedy continues to advocate for mental health and addiction care and has recently co-authored a new book, 'Profiles in Mental Health Courage', which details the journeys of a group of Americans that struggled with mental health issues. FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks to former Former U.S. Representative Patrick J. Kennedy who shares stories from the book and what his thoughts on what more can be done for those in need.
