News: Gains for Psychology Education & Training in House Health Care Reform Bill

By: Sheila Lane Forsythm, Lane Forsyth Associates

On Friday, July 17, 2009, a new subtitle was added to the House Tri-Committee Health Care Reform (HCR) bill, H.R. 3200, American’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, which establishes a Mental and Behavioral Health Training Program. This effort was spear-headed by Congressman Gene Green (D-TX) with support from Congressman Tim Murphy (R-PA) who with Congressman Green introduced H.R. 2066, the Graduate Psychology Education Act of 2009. Other co-sponsors include Congresswomen Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Mary Bono Mack (R-CA).
