Medicaid is the backbone of mental health care in America

Medicaid pays for 25% of all mental health care and 40% of all substance use care in this country — and it’s at risk. Without Medicaid, mental health conditions and substance use disorders will go untreated, harming individuals and placing avoidable strain on families, communities, hospitals, state budgets and more. The threat to Medicaid is real and urgent and its future rests with the U.S. Senate. Contact your U.S. Senator and tell them how important Medicaid is to mental health.
