you were in downtown Binghamton, you might have noticed a large group of people
walking down Court Street with picket signs towards the State Office Building
for a rally there. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>NewsChannel 34's Peter Quinn has more on their push
to pass a law requiring health insurance companies to treat people who are
mentally ill as long as they need it. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The group knows what it wants. Right now, under many
health insurance programs, people who are mentally ill can't get the treatment
they need. The Assembly's version of the bill, known as Timothy's Law, was
approved last month and it would change that. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lupardo says, "It basically ends the discrimination
that people who are seeking mental health services face, because there is
limited coverage for people who have mental illness. What we are trying to do is
have mental health insurance parody, it's equality. It treats mental illness on
a par with physical illness." </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Timothy's Law is named after 12 year-old Timothy
O'Clair of Schenectady who committed suicide five years ago after he didn't get
the mental care he needed. His father spoke today. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>O'Clair says, "We had fought for four and a half
years to get him the level and the amount of mental health care and treatment
that he needed to deal with his mental health issues. But, due to limits imposed
by the insurance industry we weren't able to bring it to him." </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The rally's purpose was to put pressure on the Senate
to also pass Timothy's Law. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, the State Senate does have its own version of
the bill. Actually, it's sponsored by State Senator Tom Libous who used to chair
the Mental Health Committee. Under the Senate's version, it would require health
insurers to treat people who are mentally ill or who have other biological
disorders.. However, it does not span out as far as the Assembly's version.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Libous says, "The Assembly bill is much too broad. It
goes way too far. And, it's not a bill that's business-friendly either. It would
really put a lot of small businesses in jeopardy. But, having said that, I think
the Senate bill, if the Assembly would be willing to compromise and talk with
the Senate, which they are not willing to do, we could have a very good mental
health parody bill on the books." </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Libous says insurance costs would increase under the
Assembly's version because it's so broad and includes treating pedophiles,
people who have disorders from drinking too much caffeine, and those who used
cocaine for a long time. People at the rally say it's time for Timothy's Law to
become law before another tragedy happens. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another note about the Senate's version, Libous says
it's comparable to what other states have. </FONT></P>
