<B>On March 5</B>, the House of Representatives will finally vote on crucial legislation called The Paul Wellstone Mental Health Parity Bill (HR 1424). This legislation will compel insurance companies to treat mental illness the same as physical illness, given the overwhelming scientific evidence that mental illness is a disease every bit as real and serious as physical illness.
