Carolyn Reinach Wolf Featured in Newsday: Insurers Must Treat Mental Health Just Like Physical Health

Home > Media > Publications > Carolyn Reinach Wolf Featured in Newsday: Insurers Must Treat Mental Health Just Like Physical Health

Executive Partner Carolyn Reinach Wolf was invited to write a guest article for Newsday Magazine, where she discussed the federal government’s recent changes in enforcement of mental health parity laws.

Amid our society’s increasing focus on all things mental health, the federal government is abandoning individuals with mental health needs.

In the piece, Wolf explains that rescinding the 2024 parity regulations is not just a regulatory step backward, but a move that undermines the legal and moral obligation to treat mental and physical health equally.

 

Drawing on her experience as a mental health attorney, she emphasizes the real-life consequences for families navigating care for loved ones with serious mental illness and calls for immediate, sustained enforcement of parity laws as a matter of civil rights and public health.
