Discussion:
1) Why aren’t the efforts to reduce drug abuse and drug addiction in the United States positive; that is moving in the right direction? Why have the efforts stalled? Why do you feel this is so?
2) Some insurance plans strictly limit coverage for mental health treatment, for instance, paying for only a small number of therapeutic sessions or restricting coverage to the most severe cases only. Why do you think that insurance companies limit mental health care when even very small physical ailments are covered? What might be the justification for limiting care for psychological disorders? What are the potential problems with this approach?
