AAPP joined leading mental health groups urging Congress to protect Medicaid, the single largest payer of mental health and substance use care. In the midst of our nation’s ongoing mental health crisis, the importance of protecting people’s access to life-saving services was emphasized in the letter.
Americans are deeply and overwhelmingly opposed to slashing funding for Medicaid, according to new polling data released by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). AAPP is joining our NAMI partners in encouraging your advocacy to protect Medicaid. Find details to use in your advocacy here.
