CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a coalition of 18 attorneys general, today called on the federal government to implement stronger regulations to ensure behavioral health services are as available to patients as other types of health care. In a comment letter to the secretaries of Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury, Raoul and the attorneys general express support for the Biden administration’s proposed amendments to regulations implementing the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) of 2008 that would improve compliance with the law and access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment. “While some progress has been made, too many Americans still lack access to lifesaving health care services treating mental health and substance use disorders,” Raoul said. “We must continue to work to expand these services and hold insurers accountable to ensure needed health care is readily accessible for patients.”

The HUD regulation, known as the Disparate Impact Rule, has been formally in effect since 2013. “Accessible homeowners insurance is critical to ending housing discrimination,” Raoul said. “Insulating effectively discriminatory insurance policies and practices from federal liability would deal a significant blow to efforts made by states, including Illinois, to combat housing discrimination.” Courts have long recognized that the Fair Housing Act bars housing practices that, while not overtly discriminatory, have a disparate impact on individuals based on race, national origin or another protected characteristic.
