Mental Health Parity Opponents Raise Concerns About Legislation During
Center for Policy Analysis Forum

From a National Center for Policy Analysis forum on insurance mandates for
mental health parity:

Rep. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.):

"To add mandates to the current third-party system is just going to cause it
to collapse. So anyone who's arguing for mandates at this point is really
arguing for single-payer health care."
