Assignment:

Answer the following questions:
- Why don't people with mental illnesses receive the same level of care as other illnesses?
- What barriers prevent people with mental illnesses from receiving the care they need? Are the barriers different in the U.S. as compared to other countries?
- Should the federal government take a more active role in the coordination of care and services to patients with mental illness? Why or why not?
