Share your story: Have you experienced a health parity violation?

The Department of Labor’s long-awaited parity report shows that mental health treatment is still not on par with physical health services. “Marketplace Morning Report” host David Brancaccio spoke with Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams about the consequences of this continued imbalance.  

Have you or someone you know paid out of pocket for mental or behavioral health treatment that should have been covered by health insurance, or gone without because of the cost? If you’re comfortable doing so, please share your experience by Friday at 5 p.m. EST. You may be contacted by a Marketplace producer who will ask about your experience.
