Tuesday, April 22 | 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. ET
Medicaid is a public health insurance program that covers over 72 million people, including many people with mental health conditions, as well as pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, working families and veterans. Medicaid is a lifeline for many people with mental health (MH) conditions or substance use disorders (SUD). Forty percent of non-elderly adults on Medicaid have a MH/SUD.

Medicaid:
Pays for 1 in 4 dollars spent on vital MH/SUD treatment in the U.S. each year
Provides coverage to 1 in 3 people with mental illness
Allows more people with serious mental illness to access MH/SUD services and
Prevents people from delaying or skipping necessary health and mental health care

Register today for NAMI’s next Virtual Town Hall and join our presenters as they provide an overview of Medicaid and what program changes are being discussed in Congress.

This from Nami National to ask that we advocate for Medicaid which is so important to those with mental health conditions. Contact your Congressman and Senators as well - wherever you are in the US.!

Let's keep up the momentum for mental health

Access to health care coverage is essential for anyone, especially people with a mental health condition. But did you know that Medicaid is the nation’s largest payer of mental health and substance use condition services? Unfortunately, current proposals in Congress could make significant cuts to Medicaid, which will hurt many people with mental illness.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people – and we need to protect it.
