> Also mental health coverage covers people's kids and dependents, not just them, your focus on the policy holder is a little narrow, I think.
Right, but as people are more and more likely to be single, more and more people are policy holders. This is not a situation where you always have a spouse with insurance or something.
> Mental Health coverage does cover therapy, and therapy of various sorts is effective to treat or ameliorate a number of mental health issues
As I said. mental illness is on the rise. We could treat all these issues and spend for it. Or we could try to trace root causes (I know people are working hard on this). The latter seems the more useful method.
