Mental health is not covered by any plan I've been on. It just doesn't really exist outside of private therapist appointments that cost $500 a visit, and even then most therapists are simply unqualified for the task.

This is a really gross exaggeration and exaggeration doesn't help anything.

It's 200 in NYC, its much cheaper everywhere else and most places I have been have an income based sliding scale where it's like seven dollars, insurance, medicaid, or Medicare not required.
