Yeah, I, I think it's true.

And, and so there have been efforts both federally and here in the state of California.

I don't know how broad your listeners go and probably outside the state of California, so pardon me for being California-centric.

But this is both federal and California where legislation has passed around equity of access for mental health services, and so making sure that there is parity, that mental health is paid for on par with medical health.
9:10
And so there's been legislation passed to move that direction, but it's widely understood in our field and by people that need services that it sure doesn't feel like it's passed [chuckles].
9:21
It, it, it's passed on paper legislatively, but doesn't seem like it's been pulled into practice and really acknowledged in that way, so you're right.
