“It’s horrific,” Los Angeles Dr. Lynn Goodloe told me Thursday when I asked what she thought of the impact on mental health care. But under Obamacare, mental health coverage was listed as one of 10 essential health benefits insurers had to provide. Goodloe said the mental health system still has plenty of room for improvement, but that was a step in the right direction and cause for celebration. She told me she was a Medi-Cal patient, with physical and mental health issues, but she wasn’t too worried about losing her coverage. So it’ll be better healthcare, much better, for less money.
