Abstract
More than 16 years after the enactment of landmark insurance parity legislation for mental health and substance use benefits, the promise of truly equitable treatment has remained largely out of reach. Whether the quest for parity is being waged through the regulatory process, via court arguments or in everyday practice, mental health treatment providers and advocates continue to brace for a bruising fight at every turn.
