http://ripr.org en http://ripr.org/post/great-irony-private-insurance-and-mental-health-coverage <p>This week, our neighbors in Connecticut began hearings about mental health care in the state after the Newtown shooting. Lawmakers and a couple of <a href="http://www.cga.ct.gov/ASaferConnecticut/">task forces </a>convened by Gov. Dannel Malloy are reviewing the state's mental health services and looking at the kinds of public policy and legal fixes that might make it better. Should we mandate outpatient treatments for the mentally ill? Can we truly assess someone's risk before it's too late? Should gun buyers face a mandatory mental health evaluation?
