[Timothy's Team] Capital Region Timothy's Law Rally in Saratoga Springs, June 2nd

[Michael Seereiter]

NY'S CAPITAL REGION SUPPORTS

TIMOTHY'S LAW!

 

 

Timothy's Law is a bill in New York State (A.2912-A / S.6735-A), named in
memory of Timothy O'Clair, a 12-year old boy who completed suicide in March
2001 following a 5 year struggle with mental illness.  If enacted, this
legislation would amend the Insurance Law to require health insurers and
health maintenance organizations (HMO's) in New York State to provide
coverage for mental illness and addiction services equal to that which is
provided for other medical conditions by such insurers and HMO's.

 

In March, the NYS Assembly passed Timothy's Law by a vote of 134-9.  It is
now up to the members of the NYS Senate to Pass Timothy's Law in 2006 to end
the insurance practices that discriminate against those with mental health
and addiction needs, which have led to tragedies like Timothy's.
