Memorial Day: Celeste bill aids Ohioans fighting PTSD
 |
This weekend, Americans will remember our loved ones who have been lost -- in war, through illness and from injury. Some have been lost because they cannot get the help they need to overcome the trauma in their lives.
State Rep. Ted Celeste was shocked to learn that insurers in Ohio can deny coverage to men, women and children needing therapy to recover from war, sexual abuse, physical abuse or mass violence. He responded by sponsoring House Bill 249. It would require private insurers to extend mental health coverage to veterans and all others suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Ted 's proposal, which has bi-partisan support, is in committee. He testified in the House, and the companion bill in the Senate had a hearing recently.
This Memorial Day, won't you join Ted in bringing attention to the veterans and all other Ohioans who are denied mental health coverage? Walk with him in the Grandview Heights Memorial Day Parade or contact him to take other action in support.
