Abstract
Low-income individuals in the U.S. bear a heavy burden in out-of-pocket costs for outpatient mental health care, newly published data suggest. Results of a study covering the period from 2018 to 2021 also illustrate some of the real-world difficulties in achieving full insurance parity for mental health conditions.
