(MENAFN) U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Monday outlined a sweeping mental-health agenda that would integrate the mental health services into the nation's health care system.
According to the plan released by the Clinton campaign, the initiatives would expand reimbursement structures in Medicare and Medicaid and a national initiative for suicide prevention would also be launched.
Clinton's plan would also aim to enforce the nation's mental health laws, which are "too often ignored or not enforced," said the campaign in a statement.
As a result of the new plan, randomized audits would be launched to detect violations and disclosure requirements be enforced to prevent insurers from concealing their practices for denying mental health care.
